About the spot
Praia de Macapá is located in the state of Piaui, at the river mouth. This is not the city of Makapa in the Amazon: Praia de Macapá is important when looking for housing. Coast spit and sand banks give beautiful stretches of water, but the current and tide affect the routes. Here it is interesting to watch the spot before the exit: yesterday's convenient passage today may look different.
What to pay attention to
Ask a local instructor to explain the currents, deep channels and a safe route back to shore.
Best time to travel: September-December
For the Brazilian spot route, Dragon Kite recommends September–December, a time of sustained winds on the northeast coast. This is a good period to plan a trip around daily kitesurfing, from the ocean beaches of Ceara to the lagoons and estuaries of Piaui. Wind strength and water condition vary by day and spot, so the size of the kite, tides and forecast still check before leaving.
Description of the wind season at local schools: 7Beaufort, Illa do Guagiro and Preá Kite Club.
How to plan the road
Check the options for arrival via Parnaibou or Fortaleza and the cost of further transfer.
Before paying, check with the receiving team the place of study and the nearest comfortable accommodation. “Hotel by the sea” and “hotel by the kite zone” do not always mean the same thing.
Where is it?
The marker shows the area, not the exact launch point. Find the station address and permitted area at the school.
Questions before travel
How to choose the time of the trip?
September-December is a benchmark for planning. Before paying, confirm the season at the local school and check the forecast for travel dates.
What to ask the school before booking?
Where the lessons are held, what the size of the group is, whether the equipment is included, what language is taught and how the rescue on the water is organized.
