Share Your Trip ReportKite Spot Summary for Preá
Preá is widely described by kiters as “a wind factory” and “more consistent than Jericoacoara itself.” Most user reports agree on the fundamentals: from roughly July to January you can expect very reliable trade winds, often 20-30+ knots, almost every day, side-onshore from the right, with warm water and no need for a wetsuit. Many riders say it's one of the most dependable kitesurf spots they've ever visited.
Opinions split on the water conditions. Some riders love the relatively flat water close to shore at lower tides, calling it “great for practicing tricks” and easy for learning. Others warn that at high tide and in stronger winds you get choppy, messy water with shorebreak that can be intimidating for beginners. Several comments highlight that the shore dump can make launching and landing tricky if you're not used to power and waves.
On the crowd factor, many kiters praise Preá as “way calmer than Jeri” and enjoy the space on the water, especially outside of peak holiday weeks. However, a growing number of riders mention that schools and pousadas are filling the beach, with more lesson traffic and downwinders passing by every year. It's still quieter than major European spots in summer, but don't expect total solitude in high season.
Accommodation and village life get mixed but generally positive feedback. Several visitors like the simple, laid-back village atmosphere and the kite-friendly pousadas right on the beach. People mention good breakfasts, board storage, and on-site rescue. At the same time, some complain about limited nightlife and restaurant options compared with Jericoacoara; if you're looking for parties, many kiters end up going to Jeri at night. A few reviews note that prices in the more “boutique” beachfront lodges have climbed, so budget travelers may prefer staying a bit off the beach or in simpler guesthouses.
Safety and logistics are mostly rated as manageable but not perfect. Access is by transfer on sand roads from Jeri/Cruz, which some describe as “part of the adventure” and others as “annoying and dusty.” On the water, most riders feel comfortable thanks to the side-onshore wind and available buggy/boat rescues, but there are reports of occasional overcrowded launch areas, loose dogs on the beach, and a lack of clear right-of-way awareness among some beginners. More advanced kiters mention that strong gusts and the constant wind can be tiring over a long stay if you're not reasonably fit.
Overall, real user feedback paints Preá as a high-wind, no-wetsuit workhorse spot that's ideal for intermediate and advanced riders who want maximum water time and don't mind some chop, a bit of shorebreak, and a quiet village vibe. For absolute beginners, it's doable with professional schools but not the gentlest learning environment; for non-kiters or nightlife seekers, it can feel isolated. If your main goal is “kite every day, rest, repeat”, most kiters agree Preá delivers exactly that-without the polish or party of more famous beach towns.
