The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a brutal stretch ahead for Dogmans (Rincon). This is a reef break that’s fairly exposed to swell and works best with a WNW direction, but over the next 16 days the charts are showing next to nothing. The water’s sitting at about average for the time of year, which is one of the few things that’s not disappointing.
From Friday 21 August right through to Saturday 5 September, the story is the same: tiny, weak swell with barely any energy to speak of. The combined wave energy is mostly in the single digits or low teens (10 or less), which is about as weak as it gets. Swell heights hover around 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft – that’s barely a ripple. Periods are all over the place, from short 7 seconds to a few longer 12–15 second pulses, but with hardly any height, it’s irrelevant. The wind does offer some clean windows – there are a few glassy mornings on Sunday 23 August, Monday 24 August, Wednesday 26 August, Friday 28 August, and Monday 31 August, plus a light offshore on Thursday 3 September afternoon – but without any swell to work with, it’s a flat, glassy lake. Even a 15-second period swell on Friday 28 August afternoon only brings 0.3 ft and 4 energy, so it’s a tease.
Honestly, there’s no standout session, no best day to chase. The whole 16-day window is a blank run. This reef needs a proper WNW swell to light up, and it’s just not coming. The consistency is tagged as fairly consistent here, but when there’s no swell, even a consistent spot goes quiet. The good news is that the area tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye out. For now, leave the boards at home and maybe grab a kite if the wind picks up – this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
