Dogmans (Rincon) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down Dogmans (Rincon) for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s looking pretty flat. The water temp is about 84°, which is normal for this time of year.

The first bit of tiny movement is on Monday 13th July. We’re looking at a 0.7ft swell from the NNE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s just a whisper. The combined energy is a weak 15. The wind is a cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The whole week is a bust. Tuesday 14th through to Sunday 19th July is mostly flat or with tiny, weak waves that never crack 1ft. The energy hits zero on some days. It’s all “poor surf conditions” and no real recommendation.

We hit a dry spell. Monday 20th July morning has a glassy 0.7ft, 8-second sneaker, but it’s still a no-go. The following days are almost all flat, with combined energy of zero. A few glassy mornings on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, but zero swell.

Then, on the 25th July, Saturday morning, we get a tiny offshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph, with a 0.3ft, 8-second north swell. The energy is just 1. It’s clean, but it’s a puddle. The rest of the 16-day window is more of the same – tiny, weak, and mostly flat.

So, look, there’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a gap for surf. The swell is so small and inconsistent that it’s honestly not worth paddling out for. The only thing that’s consistent is the lack of waves. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the glassy mornings, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
