The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is one of those rare stretches where Mother Nature just isn’t playing ball. For the next 16 days, from Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Sunday the 16th of August, we are looking at a whole lot of nothing. Not a single decent wave on offer at Dogmans (Rincon). It’s a tough run.
The first week is a total write-off. From Saturday the 1st through to Thursday the 6th, the combined swell energy sits at zero most days, with a tiny blip of 2 on the 5th morning—that’s about as weak as it gets. We’re talking waves so small you’d be lucky to get a ripple. Winds are light and sometimes glassy, which is a tease, but without any swell to work with, it doesn’t matter.
Into the second week, Friday the 7th morning shows a little pulse—north-northeast swell at 1.0ft with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of just 16. Wind is offshore from the east-northeast at 6 mph, so clean, but the size is barely ankle-high. Not worth paddling out for. From there, it’s back to flat or near-flat conditions right through to the 16th. The 14th offers a sniff—north swell at 0.3ft with a 9-second period, glassy in the morning, but again, it’s tiny.
Water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is 1° warmer than average—nothing unusual for this time of year.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. Not one day where the swell, wind, and conditions line up for a proper session. If you’re desperate, the 7th morning is the least bad option, but I wouldn’t call it good. For kite surfers, the lack of decent surf and the occasional breeze means even that’s a stretch.
Stay patient, mate. This kind of blank run happens, but it never lasts forever. Forecasts can change. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Dogmans (Rincon) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dogmans (Rincon) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dogmans (Rincon) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dogmans (Rincon) 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 (Dogmans (Rincon)) 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 Dogmans (Rincon) 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.
