The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Dogmans (Rincon). The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. You’ve got a solid block of days with no real surf to speak of, and when there is a tiny ripple, the conditions are just poor. The water temp is sitting at 84°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system.
We kick off with a bit of a tease on Friday the 17th of July, but don’t get excited. There’s a tiny 1.0ft swell from the NNE, with a short period of 7 seconds, and it’s coming with a risk of t-storms. The combined swell energy is a weak 9, so it’s barely a bump. It’s not worth paddling out for.
After that, we hit a massive gap. From Saturday the 18th right through to the 29th of July, there’s virtually nothing. A few days show a 0.3ft or 0.7ft bump, but the energy is pitiful – single digits or low double digits. The wind is often glassy or light offshore, which would be a dream if there was any swell to work with. There’s some mornings with perfect glass, but it’s on a flat ocean. It’s a frustrating stretch if you’ve got an itch to surf.
Finally, on the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July, we see a tiny glimmer. A 0.7ft bump from the NNW with a 9-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is still only 8, so it’s weak. The afternoon improves a little with a light offshore wind, but it’s still a 0.7ft wave. It’s not going to get you cheering.
The pattern continues into the start of August with the same story – flat and glassy. There is no standout session here, no day to circle on the calendar. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer of a run. It’s one of those times where you just have to wait for the forecasts to change.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
