Santa Catarina, Brazil
Channel connecting Lagoa da Conceição to the sea in Florianópolis; NE-to-E winds at 12–22 kt produce cross-shore conditions on the narrow channel with ocean exposure; ideal for advanced riders and as a downwind destination from Lagoa.
Barra da Lagoa is a small fishing village in the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The village is set on the mouth of a tidewater channel that flows in and out of the Island's sizable lagoon, the Lagoa da Conceição. The channel is at the end of a long beach made up of Praia Barra da Lagoa and Mozambique Beach which form a single 14 km stretch of beach.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go?
