The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening in the surf world for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty dead stretch. There’s hardly any wave energy coming in, and most days the ocean is flat or just showing tiny bumps. You’re looking at a long gap with no surf worth talking about, so don’t get your hopes up too soon.
The only break that even has a pulse is Dogmans (Rincon), a reef break that’s fairly consistent and likes a swell from the WNW. Water temp is about 85°, which is normal for this time of year. The first real chance to even consider a wave is Saturday afternoon, August 8th, but it’s tiny – just 0.7ft from the NNE, with a short 6-second period. Combined swell energy is weak (4). There’s a risk of thunderstorms and a moderate cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 15 mph. It’s clean, but that’s barely a ripple. Not worth suiting up for.
From Sunday the 9th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd of August, it’s basically flat. Day after day shows zero swell height and zero combined energy. That’s a solid two-week dry spell. A few mornings and afternoons have glassy conditions or light offshore winds, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean. The break is a reef setup, so when there’s nothing coming in, there’s nothing to ride.
Finally, on Saturday afternoon, August 22nd, we see a tiny pulse: 1ft from the NNE, period a short 7 seconds, with combined energy climbing to 37 – still weak but at least it’s something. Wind is light from the north, cross-offshore, keeping it clean. Then on Sunday the 23rd, we get a bit more: 1.0ft from the NNW, 8-second period, with energy at 24 in the afternoon. Winds are light and variable, mostly cross or light cross-off. Still, these are tiny waves – not even enough for a beginner to have fun on.
If you’re an expert, there’s nothing here that’ll get your heart racing. For a beginner, it’s so small it’s safe but boring. The only positive is that the reef and wind conditions are often clean or glassy, so if any swell ever does show up, it’ll look good. But for now, this is a blank run. It’s normal for this area to go quiet like this – forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board in the garage.
Rusty.

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.
