The right gathers pace across the inside ledge as the tide drops. Smaller inside waves can be more usable than the crowded outside peak.

Character

01

Swami’s is defined by long right point + short inside left over shallow reef with a defined channel. 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

02

W–NW swell, e offshore or calm and low to mid · lower water increases speed form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.7–3.0 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

Lineup read

03

Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to shallow inside ledge, heavy crowd, rocky entry. Local signs and advice always take priority.
