Buraco Access |
| |
Buraco is not easy to find, as it is 8km up 4x4 tracks on the Mussulo sand-spit. From Luanda drive 40km south until you get to the end of the lagoon. Take the obvious track right and head north on the sand spit, past the turn off to the Shipwreck. Navigate the multitude of tracks, ending up, either on the track in deep sand high on the dune, or down on the lagoon edge in the salt-mud (don't forget to wash your car off afterwards!) As the land narrows head for the small fishing village on your left - this is Buraco. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This spot only works when there is *really* big swell running as it is completely protected from the dominant swell direction (hence the comment above about it starting working on "2 to 2.5m swell"). Occassionally we get swell coming in due west - in this case smaller swell will work.
Go with the local standouts and have them show you the ropes. Always buy them a beer or three afterwards.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
A great place to have a long day at the beach, and buy some fresh lobster.
Should you find yourself in Angola one day do not miss this baby. |
| |
General |
Don't be mis-led by the photos...these waves are quite big; the wave usually starts small on the point then increases in speed and size as it moves down the point. The shape of the bay, and hence the wave varies throughout the year. |
