About This Spot
Ilha de Luanda is a narrow, elongated peninsula forming a protected lagoon on Angola's coast. The island faces northwest into open Atlantic waters, with the main lagoon occupying the lee side. This is a sheltered bay environment with minimal swell penetration and very light average wave heights (0.51m). Dense urban development covers much of the usable land, with residential areas, port infrastructure, and boat traffic throughout the water. The spot is best suited for light-wind sessions when northeast winds provide side-shore conditions. Very low wind reliability (0%) suggests inconsistent conditions. The shallow, protected waters and absence of significant swell make this primarily a light-wind, flat-water kitesurfing venue suitable for beginners and those seeking non-technical sessions. Access appears limited due to development. Water conditions are generally calm with minimal current energy. Not recommended for riders seeking wave riding or strong-wind performance.
