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.

February at Cabo Ledo offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 0.9m and a solid 13.1s period, providing well-spaced, clean waves. The swell is predominantly from the SSW and SW directions, with most waves in the 0.5-1.5m range (over 73% of the time) and occasional sets up to 2m. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 63% of the time, mainly light to moderate (under 30kph) and coming from southerly to southwesterly directions, ensuring clean faces and good shape. However, stronger winds (20-30kph) from the SSW and SW can occasionally create chop, particularly during mid-day sessions. Overall, February delivers reliable, mid-sized waves with good power and rideable conditions, best in the mornings before winds pick up. Advanced surfers will find the longer-period swells offer quality rides, while intermediate surfers can still enjoy the manageable wave heights.
