About This Spot
Praia do Sol is a residential beach break located on Brazil's southern Atlantic coast, facing east toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with organized residential development immediately inland, separated by minimal buffer zone. The water shows consistent wave patterns typical of exposed beach breaks with moderate fetch from the Atlantic. Average conditions are quite light, with very low wind reliability suggesting this is primarily a summer destination requiring specific weather windows. Wave heights average only 1.17m, making this suitable for beginners and those practicing in small surf. The eastward-facing orientation means side-shore winds come from north or south; northerly winds are typically more consistent during summer months. The shallow water gradient near shore provides forgiving conditions but limits wave development. This spot works best during summer months (November-February in Southern Hemisphere) when wind frequency increases. Kiters should check local wind forecasts carefully given the 1.3% reliability metric, indicating inconsistent conditions outside optimal seasonal windows. The residential setting suggests checking local regulations and respecting property access before launching.
Hazards & Safety
Low wind reliability (1.3% - very inconsistent conditions)
Small average wave height (1.17m - limited swell)
Residential area proximity - potential beach congestion
Shallow water near shore in some areas
