Weather Conditions
Being so close to the equator, the climate is fairly consistent the air and water temperatures are between 28 and 32 degrees. Throughout the year, the sun rises around 6.00 am and sets at 18:30 and the 12 hours of sunshine will allow you to take full advantage of your Brazilian experience, even the late risers, as 6 am at the pousada is 10 am in Europe.
Much of the north-eastern coast in the dry season (June-February) is caressed from the trade winds that makes Praia da Barra one of the best spots in the world for kite surfing. Also, thanks to the steady wind, the temperatures are not so overwhelming, you are able to suntan without suffering too much heat
We always suggest wearing a light longsleeve jersey in the evenings , the cool air allows for real good night sleep .
Another BIG PLUS of this season is that there are NO mosquitoes
