Dogmans (Rincon) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here.

First up, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking flat as a pancake. We’re staring down a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. From Thursday the 20th all the way through to the end of August, the swell is a joke. Most days we’re looking at ankle-biters, if anything at all, with a lot of readings showing zero energy. The combined swell energy rarely cracks double digits, sitting at a weak (15) at best, which is just sad. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, but with nothing to ride, it doesn't matter.

Now, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. The very end of the forecast, on Monday the 1st of September, things start to twitch. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the only real highlight on the cards.

Dogmans (Rincon) – This is your only serious option. The break is a reef setup, which is good for the long-period swell we’ll see, and it’s fairly consistent. It’s also fairly exposed to the swell, so it should pick up what little there is. The standout moment is the afternoon of Monday the 1st of September. We’ll see a pulse of 3 feet of swell coming from the south. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have much grunt, but the wind is forecast to be glassy. The combined energy is a moderate (66), which is a solid step up from the nothing we’ve had. It’s a promising little window, but it’s a long way off, so don’t hold your breath.

Before that, on the morning of Monday the 1st, there’s a tiny 3 feet swell from the south with a 4-second period, also glassy, but the energy is weaker (26). It’s there, but it’s wonky.

Other than that, the whole period is a write-off. The water temperature isn't mentioned, so I can't call it for you.

Hang in there, the waiting game is on.
