Character
01Somo is defined by multiple left + right peaks over long sand beach. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02NW–N swell, s–sw offshore and mid tide · moving form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.5–2.2 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Match the active peak to your ability and leave space for other surfers in the water. Pay particular attention to rip currents, shorebreak, busy lesson zones. Local signs and advice always take priority.
