It is a great place to do a small downwinder to Praia do Prea, roughly 7km distance. Theoretically you can ride all the way to Jericoacoara which is 20km in distance, but do not underestimate the distance and keep in mind that the wind around Jericoacara will be off-shore and it is not super easy getting to the Beach.
