Lagoa dos Patos is a large coastal lagoon system in southern Brazil, featuring calm, protected waters ideal for beginner kitesurfing. The lagoon's southern orientation means the primary water body faces south, making easterly or westerly winds optimal for side-shore conditions. The spot is characterized by shallow, murky waters with scattered vegetation and small ponds throughout the surrounding area, indicating a complex bathymetry requiring careful navigation. Wind reliability is notably low at 3.9%, suggesting variable conditions typical of protected lagoon environments. Average wind speeds of 6.5 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, though local thermal effects may create stronger afternoon breezes. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders due to flat water conditions and minimal wave exposure. Water temperature averages 20.3°C, requiring seasonal consideration. Kiters should expect shallow areas, be aware of vegetation hazards, and verify conditions before sessions due to low wind consistency.
