Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The wind at São Pedro primarily blows from the northeast, with a side-shore to side-offshore orientation depending on the exact beach configuration. The spot features a flat to slightly choppy water surface, ideal for riders seeking speed and glide. The launch area is spacious, with a large sandy beach allowing for easy takeoff. The coastal current is generally weak, but there is a strong current offshore that should be respected. Conditions do not significantly depend on tides at this spot. The wind funneling effect between the land can increase wind strength by 5 to 10 knots compared to standard forecasts. Note: kitesurfing is technically prohibited near the airport due to air traffic, but local schools tolerate the activity with a rescue boat on standby.
