Queiroz surf forecast
Cabo Ledo · Luanda · Angola
Left point in a scalloped bay under the sea cliffs at the north end of Cabo Ledo, about 3 km from the main Praia dos Surfistas point, below the Queiroz Point eco resort. It starts fast and hollow over boulders and sand, then runs into fast walls and barrels for up to 400 m. It wants a west swell, an east or southeast wind and low to mid tide on the push. Surfnerd calls it experts only. CNN's Cabo Ledo report mentions two faster waves beside the main point on bigger swells; this is probably one of them, but only Surfnerd describes it by name.
