The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk straight about Dogmans (Rincon) for the next couple of weeks. I’ve looked it over, and man, it’s pretty grim. This whole 16-day stretch is flat as a pancake. There’s no real swell coming in. All we’ve got are tiny little bumps that aren't worth the walk down the beach.
The only faint flickers happen Wednesday afternoon, July 15th, with a measly 0.3ft of north swell and just 3 units of energy—that’s a puddle. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th nudge up to 1ft, but the period is short and the energy is still weak. There are a few glassy moments, like Friday afternoon the 17th, but without any power behind it, it’s just a flat, shiny pond. You’d be bobbing, not surfing.
Water temp is about 84°, normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you’re staring at nothing.
After the 18th, it’s even worse. For nearly a week straight, from early Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 29th, the energy drops to zero for most of those days. There is no surf. Some days kick out a 1 or 5 in the energy, but that’s 0.3ft to 1ft junk with periods of 5 to 6 seconds—just messy little wind ripples.
It’s a dead period. No standout days, nothing to get excited about. Beginners have nothing to learn on, and experts will leave their boards at home. It’s just one of those quiet stretches the coast goes through. The spot is usually fairly consistent, so it won't be barren forever, but for now, there’s no reason to paddle out. Store the wax.

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.

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.
