Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dogmans (Rincon) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, let’s break it down. For the next 16 days at Dogmans (Rincon), it’s a flat spell. This is a reef break that needs a good west-northwest swell to get cranking, and we’re getting none of that. Water temp is 84°F, a little over a degree warmer than average for July.
Starting Friday, July 10th, absolutely nothing – zero energy. Saturday the 11th brings the first hint of a wave: a tiny 0.3ft from the north, with a 13-second period. Combined energy is only 4 – that’s pathetic. The wind is light and cross-offshore in the afternoon, making it clean, but you can’t ride what isn’t there.
Sunday the 12th through Wednesday the 15th is more of the same. Trash waves: 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the north or north-northeast. Periods between 9 and 11 seconds. Energy values are in the single digits or low teens (2 to 16). It’s a total desert out there.
We see a little bump on Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th of July. Swell height gets to 1ft, still from the north-northeast, but the period drops to 7-8 seconds – windswell junk. The combined energy gets up to 21 on Thursday morning. Still not worth the drive. Crowds here are *sometimes* an issue, but not with this. Friday morning the 17th is glassy – calm wind – but the swell is tiny and weak. Clean water, no waves.
From Saturday the 18th through Saturday the 25th, it’s a total shutout. Multiple days with zero swell energy. There’s a blink on Sunday the 19th morning: 1.0ft from the north-northeast, period 7 seconds, energy 9 – but cross-onshore wind messes it up. Tuesday the 21st morning is glassy with a 0.3ft north swell, 10-second period, energy of 2. That’s not a surf session, that’s a lake.
There are zero standout sessions in this whole 16-day window. The longest stretch of nothing runs from the 18th right through to the 25th. For an intermediate reef spot like this, it’s more of a kiteboarding scene right now, but the wind’s too light for that too.
Stay patient. It’ll turn around eventually.

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.
