Cabo ledo surf guide

Cabo Ledo is a surf spot located in Angola, known for its beautiful scenery and laid-back vibe. This area has been developing into a tourist hub, with a good number of hotels springing up and local infrastructure improving. It's a place where surfers can enjoy some time in the water while taking in the surrounding landscape.

The surf at Cabo Ledo is mostly left-hand point breaks that can offer really fun rides, especially when the swell is around 2ft (0.6m). The optimal swell direction is from the SouthWest, with additional swells coming from the South. The waves break over sand, making it a pretty forgiving spot for those still getting the hang of things. It works best during low to mid tides, and the waves can peel down the sandbank nicely, giving you a ride of about 800m when conditions are right. Beginners will find it manageable as long as they pay attention to the swell size and the wind, which is ideally coming from the SouthEast.

While the outside section near the rocks can pack a bit of power and steepness, the inside tends to be smoother, making it easier to ride. Just keep an eye on the increasing swell, as that can lead to rips forming. If things get tricky, it's good to know that getting back out is a simple walk past the fish drying racks to rejoin the action at the peak. Overall, Cabo Ledo is a solid choice for surfers looking for manageable waves and a chill atmosphere.
