About this spot

The Unplug Luanda destination page rates the island's North Point for intermediate riders: shallow water with chop and small-to-medium waves, about 15 km from Luanda airport.

Duk kite Angola is listed as the nearest school, roughly 6 km from the launch, so riders here are within reach of lessons, coaching and rescue-style support — but the launch itself is not a teaching beach.

The same seasonal discrepancy applies: October–April per Unplug's wind note, May–September Cacimbo per spots.guru.

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.

Local hazards

  • Open Atlantic swell wraps around the point
