Surf in Cabo Ledo

Your first three and last two nights will be spent at a beachfront accommodation. At a short distance, you find one of the funnest waves in Angola. A lefthander that works on most swell sizes and, on its day, can provide rides that go on for more than a minute.

Beach life and surf

Once in Sumbe, the program is simple. Sleep on the beach, wake up to the sound of the waves and surf as much as you can. You will be sharing this experience with a small group of friends. This is what a surf adventure should feel like.
This is a general plan of the itinerary FOR the Angola surf trip. This plan WILL have a few adjustments, according to the waves forecast and the group expectations.

Embrace the Spirit of Adventure

Neverending Lefthand pointbreaks
In Summer, swells from the south-west consistently hit Angola's coastline, producing a wide variety of perfectly peeling left-handers. Think Morocco, but in reverse.
