A strong west swell hit the California coast on Sunday, February 18th, 2024. Swami's in Encinitas was going off with overhead + surf. It was a beautiful day with some talented surfers in the water-such a treat to watch!
Surfed here once .summer of 1964? Anyway it was just after Surfer magazine told the world about it. It was six foot and fun with only a half dozen guys in the water
I used to live walking distance from Swami's, literally never paddled out there, because this ridiculous pack density is literally 365 days a year. I would usually hit the beach breaks north of here, mostly D street. Which, of course, has it's own steady crowd, but nothing as ludicrous as the Swami's pack.
