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.

In October, Cabo Ledo offers solid surf conditions with a consistent swell averaging 1.1m and an impressive period of 13.3s, producing clean, well-spaced waves ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. The swell direction is predominantly from the SSW and SW, contributing to most waves in the 0.5–2m range, with the majority falling between 0.5–1.5m. The wind is favorable 63% of the time, mainly blowing from the south to southwest at moderate speeds (10–30kph), ensuring good shape and minimal choppiness. However, stronger winds can occasionally disrupt conditions, particularly from the S-SSW. Overall, October is a reliable month for surfers seeking quality waves with manageable wind conditions.
