Mariscal

Mariscal is a beach break located on Brazil's southern coast, featuring a developed residential area adjacent to a sandy shoreline fronting open ocean. The spot faces northeast into the Atlantic, with a shallow lagoon system visible landward. Given the reported wind reliability of only 0.1% and average wind speed of 3.5 knots, this location experiences marginal wind conditions unsuitable for consistent kitesurfing. Wave heights average 0.68m, indicating small and inconsistent surf. The spot is characterized by light swell exposure with limited fetch distance due to coastal geography. Best winds would be from the northwest (315°) to maintain side-shore orientation relative to the northeast-facing beach. The heavy residential development throughout the visible area suggests limited space for kitesurfing operations and potential conflicts with swimmers and other beach users. Water temperatures averaging 21.3°C are moderate. This location is best suited for beginners seeking calm conditions when rare wind events occur, though overall conditions rarely align for productive sessions. Kiters should expect frequent flat spells and plan accordingly.
