CV
You guys will find many pousadas and places to stay , depends how deep your pocktes are.
About the swells it dependes , since its location swell from north and south reach the islands , so you can surf in winter and summer , depending the island and spot.
Remember to visit Fogo island , nice waves also with alot of power
