Wind on the beach

Cross-onshore from the right on the main beaches: E to ESE arriving lateral-onshore at Ponta do Santo Cristo, so a drifting rider is carried along the sand rather than away from it.
Some local descriptions of the same beach call it side to side-offshore from the right, so treat the offshore component as real and stay upwind of the point.
In July and August the wind can swing south and turn gusty, blowing onshore on some beaches and offshore (terral) on others.

What the spot record warns about

strong, gusty peak-season wind
chop on the more exposed beachesVery shallow water and exposed reef at low tide in some areas.
rocky patches on some of the five beachesReef and rocky patches on some sections, especially around low tide or away from the clean main launch zones.
Shorebreak and 1-2 m waves can appear as the tide rises and during swell.
