The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a dead stretch. From now (July 27th) right through until the morning of August 2nd, there’s absolutely nothing. The ocean is flat, glassy, and empty at Dogmans (Rincon). Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Finally, on Sunday, August 2nd, we get a tiny 0.3ft swell from the north, but it’s only 8 seconds and the energy is a pathetic (1). The water is 29°, normal for the season, so at least it’s warm for a float.
The rest of the week is more of the same. A few 0.3ft north swells, a 0.3ft north-northeast swell on August 5th with a 11-second period and a bit more energy (3), but still nothing to ride. The wind is often glassy or clean offshore – which is frustrating because the conditions are perfect for waves that just don’t exist.
The best we get is on the morning of Friday, August 7th: a 0.7ft north-northeast swell (9 seconds) with a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE at 20 mph. The energy is (9), and it’s clean, but 0.7ft is still a ripple.
The last gasp is on the morning of August 10th: a 0.7ft north-northeast swell with a 12-second period. That long period is promising, but the energy is only (14) and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not going to do much.
There’s no standout here. No hidden gem. It’s a full-on blank run. If you’re into kiting, the wind might save the day, but for surfers, it’s a long wait.
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.
