Overview |
| |
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. |
| |
General |
If you go there and the swell is up then go out
even if it is just so you can say you surfed there. |

Frustrating
TIDE WAS WAY TOO HIGH!!! 1.5 m, said the chart. Swell was nice 6-7ft, but only broke on the rocks. Horrible day. Got bashed and cut up trying to get out on the rocks by sister Dorothy's place and bashed the nose of my boar

Wow
This was a session of a lifetime. Had a 300+m ride. The inside section was walling up like crazy and so fast. Had to hurry like h*&! to make it past some sections and got barreled and covered up for a few seconds. The latt
