The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here, taking a look at Dogmans over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a lean stretch. The water temp is about 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing weird.
From Friday the 28th of August all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s dead flat or next to it. The combined energy is basically zero for days on end – a few tiny bumps, but mostly poor surf conditions with a mix of cross-off breezes and thunderstorms. Not worth the paddle.
Wednesday the 9th of September is the one bright spot. The morning starts clear and glassy, with that north swell coming in at 3ft and a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy hits 157, which is the only moderate reading in the whole forecast. It’s a groundswell, and for a reef like Dogmans, that’s a good match. The wind is light and calm, so the surface will be clean. It’s small, but it’s the best you’re gonna get.
Thursday the 10th drops off quickly, and by Friday the 11th it’s back to barely a ripple. So mark your calendar for Wednesday morning if you’re desperate for a session. It’s the only real blink in this flat spell.
Rusty.

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.
