The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same rundown in feet and miles per hour.
Dogmans (Rincon) is staring down a long, flat spell. From Tuesday, August 25th, through the start of September, the ocean is basically asleep. There are a few tiny pulses with glassy mornings, but the combined energy is only 3 (weak) – barely a breath. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Then, finally, on Tuesday, September 8th, we get a little bump. A north groundswell pushes through at about 2ft with a 12-second period. The combined energy hits 103 (moderate). Wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE, keeping the surface clean. It’s surfable but ordinary. That longer period at a reef can mean longer waits between sets, but you’ll get some form.
Tuesday afternoon is similar: still 2ft from the north, same cross-off breeze. Energy stays moderate (103). For a reef break with rare crowds, this is your window – small enough for rookies.
Wednesday the 9th of September shows a little more size, about 3ft from the north-northeast, period dropping to 10 seconds. Energy hits 141 (moderate). But the wind turns to a light cross-shore, so not as clean. The optimum direction for this spot is WNW, so this north-northeast swell isn't a perfect match.
The standout is Tuesday, September 8th – the morning session with that clean cross-off breeze. That’s your best shot. Everything else is a long wait.
Keep your chin up.
Rusty.
