Top Windsurfing Locations – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:53:21 +0000

Finding the best locations across the world for the water sports of your choice, whether surfing, windsurfing or stand-up paddle boarding, can be a difficult task to undertake. We aim to build this list of the Top Locations for Stand-Up Paddleboarding that will allow anyone, whether you’re an expert or a beginner to make it easier to pick a location that suits your needs. Our next SUP Boarding and stand up paddlesurfing location to highlight is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There are dozens of locations throughout Brazil that are widely respected as windsurfing hubs the world over but few can hold a candle to the beauty that Brazil’s captiol cit holds within its borders.

Rio has a tropical savanna climate and is often characterized by long periods of rain from December to March.The temperature occasionally reaches over 40 °C (104 °F) in inland areas of the city, and maximum temperatures above 28 °C (82 °F) occur on a monthly basis. In the main tourist areas (south side, where the beaches are located), the temperature is moderated by the cool sea-breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. Along the coast, the breeze, blowing alternately onshore and offshore, modifies the temperature which also makes for almost perfect conditions for windsurfing. The temperature varies according to elevation, distance from the coast, and type of vegetation. Winter brings mild temperatures and less rain than in the summer.
