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.

June at Cabo Ledo offers consistent surf conditions with a solid mix of rideable waves. The average swell height is 1.3m with a long 13.9s period, producing powerful, well-spaced waves that hold shape and provide quality rides. The majority of swell comes from the SW-SSW direction, with heights predominantly in the 1-2m range—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. About 32% of SW swells fall in the 1-1.5m range, while 17.8% reach 1.5-2m, ensuring enough punch for turns and carving. Wind conditions are favorable 74% of the time, typically light to moderate (10-30kph) and blowing from the S-SSW, which is offshore or sideshore, helping maintain clean faces. While strong onshore winds (20-30kph from S-SSW) occur occasionally (3-6% of the time), they’re not dominant. Overall, June delivers reliable surf with good energy, clean conditions, and manageable winds, making it a strong month for surfing at this spot.
