Quicombo
Sumbe, Angola
🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote
Quicombo is a remote reef break south of Sumbe that acts as a swell magnet for SW groundswells. The wave produces hollow, powerful barrels over a reef that's shallow but relatively forgiving compared to some Angolan spots. The remoteness keeps it virtually uncrowded—you'll likely have it to yourself.
