Cabo Ledo - surf spot statistics

Cabo Ledo in Angola offers consistent surf conditions year-round, thanks to its reliable ground swells that dominate the swell mix, rarely dropping below 80% probability in any month. The best months for surfing are from April to July, when ground swells peak at 95-96% and mean swell sizes range from 1.1m to 1.4m, providing powerful and clean waves. Wind conditions during this period are also favorable, with good wind probabilities between 69% and 77%, minimizing onshore interference. June stands out as the optimal month, combining a 1.3m swell with 74% good wind likelihood. Late-year months like November and December see slightly smaller swells (1.0m) and more wind swell influence, though conditions remain surfable. The shoulder seasons (March and August-October) still deliver decent waves, but wind reliability dips, particularly in September when bad wind conditions reach 40%. January and February offer smaller, consistent swells (0.9m) with manageable winds, making them suitable for intermediate surfers. Notably, Cabo Ledo never experiences flat spells (0% no-swell days), ensuring year-round ridable waves, but advanced surfers will prefer the larger, cleaner swells of the April-July window.

December at Cabo Ledo offers decent surf conditions, primarily powered by swells from the SW and SSW directions. The average swell height is 1.0m with a solid period of 12.8s, ensuring well-formed, rideable waves. Most waves fall in the 0.5-1.5m range, with the majority (58.9%) coming from the SW and SSW, providing consistent, mid-sized surf. Wind conditions are favorable 68% of the time, predominantly light to moderate (10-20kph) from the S to SW directions, which typically groom the waves without disrupting form. While larger swells above 2m are rare, the spot works reliably with clean, manageable waves for intermediate to advanced surfers. Expect some variability, but overall, December delivers good surf with favorable wind alignment.
