The Lowdown
Mate, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch is a tough one for Dogmans (Rincon). We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about, and the first real suggestion of surf doesn’t pop up until Wednesday morning, July 22nd, and even then it’s a dud.
The overall pattern is flat, flat, flat. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is about 1°F warmer than the long-term average for this time of year—so it’s feeling pretty normal, maybe a touch warm, but nothing unusual. The combined swell energy is a measly 26 (weak) on that first morning, and the waves are only 2ft from the NNE with a short, choppy 6-second period. That wind is a cross-shore from the SSW at 6 mph, creating small crossing wind ripples. It’s poor, real poor.
From there, it’s a brutal gap. The next several days—through Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and into the following week—are basically all zeros. You get a mix of glassy mornings and afternoons with risk of t-storms, but the swell heights are either nil or a pathetic 0.3ft to 1ft, and the combined energy never cracks double digits (mostly 0–4). The swell periods are short too, 3 to 9 seconds, so no grunt behind them. Winds are light and sometimes offshore, but there’s just no swell to work with.
The first hint of something almost worth paddling for shows up on Thursday morning, August 6th. That morning at Dogmans, we’ve got 1ft from the NNE, a 6-second period, and combined energy of 12 (still weak). It’s glassy with a light NW breeze at 3 mph—clean, but tiny. The afternoon sees a 0.3ft from the N with an 11-second period (a bit longer, suggesting a touch of groundswell), but it’s a cross-offshore ENE wind at 9 mph, so it’s clean but just too small to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s no standout at all. Nothing worth highlighting as the best on offer—it’s all flat or barely knee-high. For beginners, anything over 5ft would be too big, but we’re nowhere near that. Experts wouldn’t bother either. This is a long, blank run, and for an area like this, it’s not unheard of to have stretches like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a full 16-day wait.

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.
