surfing in Angola |
| |
From the cold waters of Namibe provinvce, to the hot summer-waters around Luanda, Angola has a big surfing potential. The coast is, however, recessed relative to the main north-south axis of the west-african coastline. Swell often moves up and past Angola with coming ashore - which can get a little frustrating.
Surfers heaven? indeed a country which could be a major destination, but is instead ravaged by a civil-war hangover from the cold-war. Other legacies include in-built state paranoia and huge bureaucracy, so casual visits for a weekend of uncrowded left-hand point breaks are not worth the hassle. However, if you are lucky enough to live here, you'll find an active surfing community (of about 15 people and two dogs), and some great VERY uncrowded waves - enjoy our photos!!

Just me and Paul out all afternoon, the session was mostly small,
but the set waves gave good rides with OK take-offs, then mushy middle

Six years, almost to the day of leaving Angola - after 4 years
living in this wild and dangerous place - I was back. Back

luggage hall, not for suitcases (we were only supposed t
