About this spot
The Unplug Luanda destination page lists Chicala as a beginner spot with chop and small waves, about 5 km from the airport, at the fishing village on the bay side of the Ilha do Cabo spit.
Duk kite Angola operates on the island and is the nearest listed school, so first lessons and gear rental are reachable from here; the village launch itself is shared with local fishing traffic.
As with the other island launches, sources disagree on the season window (October–April vs May–September Cacimbo) — confirm current conditions with the school.

Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the Unplug kitesurf directory (Luanda spot pages and the Duk kite Angola school listing), Kiteforum's Ilha do Mussulo spot page, spots.guru's Angola country page, Windy.app's Cabo Ledo statistics and Plizio's Cabo Ledo guide. No published GPS coordinates for the Ilha de Luanda or Mussulo launches — pins are approximate. Wind-season months conflict between sources (October–April per Kiteforum/Unplug; May–September dry-season trades per spots.guru) — confirm with the school. Duk kite Angola is an independently operating local school; no IKO affiliation confirmed. Needs local verification.
