Where lessons actually happen: Jeri vs Preá

Jericoacoara (the village)

The famous dune town. The village beach works for riding, but space is tight in high season. MH Kiteschool is the area's village-based listing.

Praia do Preá — the lesson beach

A wide, sandy beach about 12 km east of Jeri with steady side-onshore trade wind — this is where most schools in this list are based, including D.A. Kite&Wing, Windspirit, Dokite and Play. If you book a lesson while staying in Jeri, expect it to happen here.

Jijoca & the lagoons

Inland from Jeri, around Lagoa Azul and Lagoa do Paraíso, flat water used by many riders for progression sessions. Viva Kite Experience is based in Jijoca and teaches at Preá.

Getting between them

Jeri ↔ Preá is a short transfer by buggy or 4x4 (roughly half an hour). Several schools state transport in their services — confirm pickup when you book.

Learning to kitesurf here: what to expect

A beginner course anywhere in the world follows the same arc — kite control on the beach, body-drag in the water, then your first waterstarts. The schools above list beginner through advanced coaching; a typical entry course is spread over several sessions.

Wind season

In a classic year the Ceará trade-wind season runs from July into January, with August–November the most consistent stretch. That is general local knowledge, not a forecast — check live wind for Preá in the KiteSchool app before you plan a week around it.

Check live wind

Downwinders

This coast is one of Brazil's classic downwind runs — Preá to Jeri is the local milk run, and multi-day trips continue west along the dunes. Windspirit lists downwinds and kite trips among its services; ask any school in the list what they run in season.

FAQ

Yes. Schools in the list above state beginner lessons or discovery courses on their profiles, taught on the wide beach at Preá where there is room to learn.

When is the kitesurf season in Jericoacoara?

Classically July into January, strongest August–November. Check live wind in the KiteSchool app rather than planning on averages.
