Alright, let me paint you the picture for Swamis. Honestly, I gotta be straight with ya – it's a rough couple of weeks ahead. A proper dry spell for the most part.
That first chance you're gonna get isn't until way out on Thursday, July 17th. For the whole first week and a half, from the 4th of July all the way through the 16th, it's just a story of onshore winds and cross-onshore chop killing any quality. We've got swell in the water, with combined energy readings up in the hundreds, but it's all blown out and ugly. For a solid stretch in there, say from the 10th to the 16th, the quality is just gone – you'll be staring at flat, messy conditions.
If there's one day to mark on the calendar, it's the morning of Thursday, the 17th of July. Swamis (a beach and reef break that's fairly consistent) should finally glass off. The wind is supposed to go completely calm – that's a massive win. You'll have a clean little 2ft swell coming from the SW with a long period of 19 seconds. That long period means proper groundswell energy (335 units), so the waves will have push, but it can make them wall up a bit straight on a beach break. For Swamis, with that glassy surface, it’s a window you don't want to sleep on. The crowds are often here, so don't expect a solo session. Keep in mind this is a long-range call, so treat it as a solid possibility but not a lock. The water temp is just about normal for the season.
After that, the weekend of the 18th and 19th sees a serious jump in size – the 19th shows a 7ft southerly swell with over 2000 units of energy, which is strong. But the wind is a straight onshore blow at 15 km/h again. That much power with the wind on it is gonna be a sloppy mess and only for the experienced crew. That's not the one.

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.
