Why is it masculine?

Ventos is masculine in Portuguese because it descends from Latin "ventus," which was grammatically masculine, and Portuguese maintained this gender assignment when the word evolved through regular sound changes (the Latin nominative ending -us typically became -o in Portuguese masculine nouns). This gender assignment has persisted through centuries of language evolution with no semantic or morphological reason to change it.
