Surfing Day Tour In Luanda

Angola is located in the west of Africa and has a very rich coast, more than 1500 kilometers long, and much to explore and discover. Angola presents itself as a true virgin paradise for surfing and adventure.

Some point to the West African coast as the premium destination for surfers in the next decade, so the best thing to do is to explore this gift with a virtually nonexistent crowd. With only about 20 surf spots known on such a long coastline, everything is said about the potential for exploration that exists here.

Due to their exposure, left-wing point breaks dominate here. The most famous is Cabo Ledo, a world-class wave, which has already been dubbed “kilometer” and which helped the country to become known internationally.

Climate

Located in a tropical zone, Angola has its climatic characteristics, divided into two seasons: the rainy season, between September to April, and the dry season, also known as Cacimbo, which is ideal for surfing. The cold Benguela current, the inland relief, the proximity to the sea, and the Namibe desert influence this situation, creating different climates in different parts of the country. The coast is relatively humid, with the rain being more intense to the north than to the south, where a more arid climate is felt. The average temperature is around 23 degrees.
