Launch notes
Launch from the beach during S, SSW, or SSE wind conditions for the most consistent offshore/sideshore flows. Choppy conditions require careful entry through shore break; scout the safest launch corridor before heading out.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the moderate average wind (6.1 kts); the choppy conditions suit all-around or freestyle boards. Consider freestyle or wave boards given the ocean swell and variable conditions.
Clothing · Water temperatures vary seasonally in subtropical Brazil; a thin 2-3mm wetsuit is suitable for peak season (Apr, Jul, Sep-Dec), with optional booties for rocky areas.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local fishermen and swimmers; keep to designated kite zones when available. Be aware of other kiters in variable wind and maintain clear communication during launches and landings.
Additional notes
November through December offers the most consistent wind and is ideal for visiting. Check local forecasts for south swells which can affect launch conditions on the beach.
