The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days at Dogmans (Rincon) is a tough one. We're looking at a real dry spell, unfortunately. The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so at least a dip will feel good.
The first few days have a tiny bit of movement, but it's nothing to get excited about. On Thursday the 16th, we get a weak 1ft swell from the north with a short period of 7 seconds – combined energy is a measly (14). The wind is a cross-off from the NNE, but it’s a risk of thunderstorms day, so the vibe is off. Friday the 17th morning has a glassy surface with the same tiny 1ft, 7-second north-northeast swell, energy is even lower (12). Still, not enough push to make it worthwhile.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Saturday the 18th through to Tuesday the 22nd morning, there's pretty much zero swell energy showing. The ocean is flat, glassy in the mornings, but no waves. It's a solid gap of a few days with nothing to recommend.
A tiny pulse shows up Wednesday the 22nd afternoon – a 0.7ft, 9-second swell from the north-northeast, with a combined energy of (8). Wind is a cross-off from the NNE keeping it clean, but you're looking at ankle-biters if you're desperate. Thursday the 23rd afternoon has a similar 0.7ft from the north, but with a period of only 6 seconds, so it’s weak and choppy.
The rest of the run from Friday the 24th all the way through to the end of the month on the 31st is a bust. Almost every session shows zero swell. There are a few moments of glassy conditions or light offshore winds, like Tuesday the 28th afternoon, but with no waves, it doesn't matter. The combined energy values are mostly 0 or 1. Honestly, for this stretch, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
This is a long, blank run for the area. It's one of those stretches where you just have to wait for the forecasts to change. For now, hang up the shortboard and grab a beer.
Rusty.
