On 190 m² you find enough wind- and kitesurf equipment, a small shop with the latest fashion and accessories and even an extra kite-repair room. Moreover we now offer our guests 13 new and spacey storage boxes. Two terraces, one with a 20 m long swimming pool and a restaurant, invite to relax and sunbath and have a very special ambience. The centre is located 75 meters from the water. Who doesn’t want to walk that far, can stay in our “Barraca”, a small hut/beach bar, very close to the water, where snacks and cool drinks are served.
THE SPOT
With a wind rate of 99% between middle of June until December, Preá is one of the windiest windsurfing and kite-surfing spots worldwide. The wide, sandy beach of Preá is 15 km long and offers not only more than enough space for wind- and kitesurfers but also the perfect launching area right in front of the centre. Although the average wind speed is around 6 bft, the spot is also suited for kitesurf beginners. As we offer in Preá only semi-private or private kite-surfing lessons, a fast progress is guaranteed. Windsurf rental is possible from level water start onwards, however, the spot is not suited for windsurf beginners as the water is very choppy. Low tide provides dream-conditions for kite- and windsurfers and also high tide makes the time one the water pure fun: it creates waves which are perfect for jumping.
WIND AND WAVES
The wind blows side-shore from the right with an average wind speed of around 6 bft. – almost every single day. In the early mornings the wind often comes offshore but around 11:00am it turns to side-shore from the right. There is a big difference between high and low tide: with low tide you get flat water conditions, with high tide you face more challenging choppy waves.
