Petit Loango surf guide

Petit Loango is a surf spot located on the coast that offers a unique experience for surfers. It's known for its expansive wind-exposed beach breaks that stretch for miles, providing a laid-back vibe. A notable fact is that hippos were once spotted swimming in the waves during a National Geographic expedition back in December 2000, giving it an interesting wildlife touch.

The surf at Petit Loango works best with a southwest swell direction, and you'll find waves breaking over sand. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m), making it suitable for beginners. The waves here can come in both left and right directions, which adds some variety for riders. The best wind direction is from the northeast, and this spot can be surfed at low, mid, and high tides, making it versatile depending on the conditions.

Although Petit Loango is more geared towards beginners, more experienced surfers can also find something to enjoy, especially when conditions align. Just be mindful that, like many spots, it can vary in quality depending on the swell and weather factors.
