The Lowdown

Alright, it’s about as flat as a parking lot right now for the Rincon area. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there isn’t a single session worth paddling out for. We’re stuck in a real dry spell.

Dogmans (Rincon) is the only break on the cards, and honestly, it’s a bust the entire run. The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. From Wednesday the 12th right through to Thursday the 27th of August, the swell is tiny – we're looking at 0.3ft to 1.0ft at best, with periods mostly under 10 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. Wave energy is pitiful, with the combined reading hitting just 27 (27) at its highest on the morning of Saturday the 15th, but even then the swell is too small and weak to do anything. Winds are mostly clean or glassy, but with no swell to work with, it just means flat and pretty. There are long gaps of several days where the energy drops to zero – the swell just disappears completely on the 16th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, and 27th. This setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. Honestly, this is a write-off. Don’t bother waxing your board. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this kind of blank run is pretty unusual, but right now, it’s a total shutout. The forecasts might change, but as it stands, there’s nothing here.

A general guide to surfing at Dogmans (Rincon) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
