About This Spot
Praia dos Ingleses is a northeast-facing beach break located on Santa Catarina's Atlantic coast in southern Brazil. The spot features a sandy beach with moderate wave exposure and consistent ground swell. The beach is heavily developed with residential and commercial infrastructure, creating a busy recreational environment. Wind reliability is relatively low at 8.9%, with modest average winds of 7.2 knots and small average wave heights of 1.07m. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Water temperature averages 21.1°C year-round. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters due to manageable wave size and accessible beach access, though the crowded nature requires awareness of swimmers and beachgoers. The shallow nearshore waters and visible rocky sections in the northern area warrant caution. Limited wind days suggest checking forecast conditions carefully before committing to sessions.
