The air and water temperatures are most of the year pretty warm, during the winter is necessary to wear a wetsuit. The best season is September till December, but is possible to kite all year.
Often wind direction is East/Northeast, the best for the spot, 3 to 4 days a week at the best season. Other times we have Southwest wind with big swells, North offshore wind and raining South wind. Normally 10-15 knots, sometimes 15-25 knots, rare 25-35 knots.
From the airport to the spot (Barra da Tijuca) by car takes 40 min and by bus 1 hour and 30 min. From the airport: go to the Red Road until the Ayrton Senna Road at the end on a beach made the U turn to east. Go close to the big Mountain Gavea.
