Common questions
What kind of wave is Swami's?
A long right-hand reef point below the Self-Realization Fellowship gardens - the best wave in Encinitas on a winter north-west swell, and the most crowded.
What tide is best at Swami's?
Mid to high. At low tide the inside reef shows and the wave shortens.
Is Swami's good for beginners?
No - on a swell it is fast, crowded and breaks over reef. Cardiff Reef next door and Moonlight to the north are the softer options.
How do I get to Swami's?
Stairs down from the small car park at Swami's Beach on Highway 101. The lot fills before dawn on a good swell.
