The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty with the long-range look for our neck of the woods here at Dogmans (Rincon).
Honestly, I’ve got to call it like I see it. Over the next 16 days, the surf is looking pretty flat for the most part. There’s a big ol' gap of nothing really rideable for the first week. The first recommendation doesn’t come up until Wednesday the 23rd of September, and even then it’s just barely getting going. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
From Tuesday the 15th all the way through Tuesday the 22nd, the wave heights are tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100. We’ve got some glassy mornings like on Friday the 18th and Sunday the 20th, but with next to no swell, those are just flat and clean.
The first glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday the 23rd of September. The afternoon picks up a bit of pulse with a 1.0 ft swell from the NNE, period stretching out to 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 67 (moderate). It's not huge but the wind is light offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. That is the best on offer for this whole stretch, even if it’s only just surfable.
Thursday the 24th keeps things going with a similar NNE swell, hitting 2 ft in the afternoon, with a 12-second period. The energy bumps up to 102 (moderate). The morning has a light cross-onshore, but the afternoon turns cross-offshore with the NE breeze, keeping it clean. This is your next best bet.
Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th hold that 2 ft NNE swell. Friday morning is glassy, Saturday morning is glassy too. The period drops a bit, but the wind is light or offshore. Good for a longboard or a funboard if you’re keen for a paddle.
Sunday the 27th of September could be the other little standout. Morning offshore from the east at 6 mph, 2 ft swell from the NNE, period back up to 13 seconds, and the combined energy hits 92 (moderate). It’s not a beast, but that’s about as good as it gets in this window.
After that, it fades back down into the nothing zone from Monday the 28th onwards.
So bottom line: If you’re desperate for a wave, target Wednesday the 23rd through Sunday the 27th. The best combo of swell size, longer period, and light offshore wind really lands on Sunday the 27th. Don’t expect much size, but it’ll be clean. Keep your expectations in check.
