About Swami's
Swami's is Encinitas' crown jewel, a world-class right-hand reef break perched below the golden domes of the Self-Realization Fellowship. The wave peels over a cobblestone and reef bottom, offering long, fast walls perfect for high-performance surfing. On a solid winter swell, the main peak connects through multiple sections for rides of 200 yards or more. The staircase access and beautiful cliffside park make this one of California's most scenic surf spots. Consistently one of the best waves in San Diego County.
