Búzios wind guide
Búzios is a peninsula with beaches facing almost every direction. On the same day one beach can be windy while another, a few minutes away, is sheltered by the hills.
Wind direction always means where the wind comes from: a “south-west wind” (SW) blows from the south-west towards the north-east. The north-easterly is the most frequent wind in the region; southerly and south-westerly winds usually arrive with cold fronts.
