 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Park at the base of the hillside, avoiding any muddy areas as this backbeach mud has trapped more than one 4x4.

The surfing depends on the tide and the swell, in big swell the waves hold big faces way out beyond the last rock - but getting out is a problem due to what can be very strong currents running down the point (especially on a flowing tide). In smaller swell, the waves work best on a low tide, forming steeper sections in the middle to inside areas.

Atmosphere

On small to mid-size swell this is a perfect wave to have fun on, being very long and slow. Bring a longboard. On bigger days the outside has a lot of power.

General

A really great wave, rarely surfed due to the hassel of the drive (multiple army check points etc) and the relative danger - a main commando training camp is nearby - people have been killed on this beach - so be careful, go in a convoy and don't stay overnight! New comment: May 2009, I have been living in Angola for 3 yrs and have heard of no crime incidents at Cabo Ledo, I have camped many times there overnight with no issues at all, I think it is safe and a great destination if you find yourself in Angola.
