Table - best surf conditions forecast for Swamis over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again, but in the old units for those who think that way. Let’s talk Swamis.
The next couple of weeks start off real quiet. From Friday, 10 July through Sunday, 13 July, it’s mostly junk. The swell hangs around 3 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period – that’s a nice groundswell, but the cross-onshore wind messes it up. Combined energy is moderate at best (around 498). Not worth the drive.
Come Monday morning, 13 July, we finally get a “maybe” with a 3 ft SSW swell at 13 seconds and a light offshore from the WSW. It’s clean, but small. Energy is low (338). Water temp is about average for July.
Tuesday and Wednesday, 14-15 July, stay poor – swell drops to 2 ft to 2 ft and winds are cross-onshore again. No go.
Then Saturday, 18 July, shows some life. The morning has a 3 ft SW swell at 18 seconds and a light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy jumps to 672 – that’s moderate and looks promising. The conditions are clean, and the long period means shape should be good.
But the real call is Sunday, 19 July. That morning we get 4 ft from the S at 12 seconds with a light offshore from the WSW. Energy is strong at 954. Afternoon stays clean with a 3 ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds and even higher energy – 858. This is the best on offer. That south swell is a good direction for Swamis, and with those winds, it’ll be clean. Not huge, but from a quality standpoint, it’s the pick.
After that, Monday and Tuesday, 20-21 July, fade back to marginal 3 ft to 4 ft with offshore winds, but not as much energy or consistency. By Wednesday, 22 July onwards, it’s back to small, poor conditions with cross-onshore breezes.
Bottom line: you’re waiting until Sunday, 19 July for the best window. Be ready for that one.
Rusty.

Information about the Swamis Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Swamis provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Swamis can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Swamis surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Swamis) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Swamis may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Swamis is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Encinitas. If you plan a vacation in San Diego County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Encinitas. Encinitas has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
