Wamp!
Edit SpotAbout
Go wamp!
Atmosphere:
on a big pumping swell where all else is dramatic walls of whitewater or blown out or just messy, head to wamp and charge the sets on a bodyboard. trust me its fun.. try a backflip if youre feeling lucky
Additional Info:
on a good day this can work properly however most times ends with full on closeout similar to mini Waimea Shorebreak in Hawaii.
surfers beware. this is pretty much one for the bodyboarders only unless you want to do some damage.

when you are at the main beach near the pool the bay to the left of the pool, (bongin bay) yep thats its name, is where you can expect to find some mean and heavy shorebreaks along the beach of the bay.
