Mamba Point
Edit SpotAbout
If you go there and the swell is up then go out even if it is just so you can say you surfed there.
Atmosphere:
I was lucky enough to be in Liberia in a quiet time and got to surf Mumba with the only other surfers in the country...a Peace Corps worker and some Dutch guy who lived there. Actually quite a fun wave with potential to be big and knarly. Water was warm and the sets were quite regular.I had two days of waves before the swell disappeared.
Additional Info:
You will probably get shot at if you surf there now. Don't leave a car unattended...it will get broken into!
