12-20 knot winds. Most of the time not possible to kite due to predominant offshore irregular North winds. Figueirinha only works with East winds. You have a 500 meter mountain North of the beach so the S, SW and SE won't get to the beach. Some weird effect on the mountain makes turbulences and the wind is like zero.
