Swamis is a world-class right-hand point/reef break in Encinitas, named after the Self-Realization Fellowship temple perched on the bluff above. The wave peels along a rock reef base producing long, workable walls that get better as the swell increases. When it's on, the entire North County surfing population descends on the lineup — expect dozens of surfers jockeying for position. A California State Marine Conservation Area.
