Cabo Ledo

Bengo Province, Angola

🪨Rocks🏝️Remote

Cabo Ledo is Angola's emerging surf destination—a quality right-hand point break south of Luanda that is quickly gaining attention from the international surf community. The wave peels along a rocky point, offering long, rippable rides when SW groundswells arrive during the dry season (April-September). Angola's surf scene is still nascent, but Cabo Ledo has the potential to become a legitimate destination. African surf exploration's new frontier.
