Hey crew, Rusty here with a real talk outlook for Dogmans (Rincon). We’re looking at a long, flat run with next to nothing for waves for the better part of two weeks. No swell, no action.
From Saturday 11 July all the way through to Thursday 23 July, the combined swell energy readings are zilch – `0` to `24` – and wave heights flat at 0 ft or a tiny 1 ft. That 1 ft pulse on Thursday 16 July morning with a short 8-second period is weak and gets chewed up by cross-off wind. It’s a no-go. Water temp is a warm 84°, just 1° above average – so normal for this time of year.
Most of that time, the wind is blowing cross-shore or onshore with moderate breezes, making it a better setup for kites than paddle boards. Even the glassy mornings like Saturday 18 July and Wednesday 22 July and Thursday 23 July are over flat water – zero swell.
The one and only slight highlight comes way out on Friday 24 July afternoon. That’s more than two weeks off, so temper expectations. A tiny 0.3 ft swell from the N with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just `1` (very weak). The wind will be light offshore (E, 6 mph) so the surface will be clean – but the swell is so small there’s barely anything to ride. That’s your best bet, and it’s a long shot.
Before that, Thursday 23 and Friday 24 mornings are glassy but flat. Great for sitting on the board and having a chat, not for catching waves.
So, honestly, there’s no real surf to speak of. This kind of drought is normal for Dogmans when the swell window goes quiet. Things can change, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
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.
