Getting there
Ocean Kamp is at Oceanside, California, USA (3 miles from the coast).
The technology
Ocean Kamp runs on Endless Surf, a pneumatic system from Richmond. Endless Surf uses a centralised pneumatic swell generator combined with a segmented reef bathymetry that can be tuned to break left, right or peaky. A software layer allows more than 40 distinct wave programs, from ankle-slappers to head-high barrels, in a single operating day.
Originally slated for an early 2026 opening, Ocean Kamp was reset in 2026 with a fresh construction plan and a pre-LA28 target. The 3.5-acre pool is designed around customizable waves, including split A-frames and a left point break, and sits inside a wider mixed-use plan with 700 homes, a 300-room hotel and 134,000 square feet of commercial space.
