Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Preá
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.9 km out (1 in 286). The sea is about 27°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually September, October, November and December, with about 7 good days in 7; in March and April, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Jijoca de Jericoacoara. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 3 wind sports spots.
