The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch of flatness ahead. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any proper waves at Dogmans (Rincon). The first decent surf isn’t showing up until the second week, and even then, it’s barely a ripple.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, we’ve got nothing. The combined energy is sitting at zero (0) for days on end. We’re talking mirror-flat conditions with glassy mornings and clean afternoons, but no swell to push. It’s a dead spell. Even when a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft ripple shows up from the NNE on August 1st, it’s got a short period of 5 seconds and combined energy of just 2, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F with an anomaly of 1°F, which is about normal for this time of year – no surprises there.
Moving into the second week, there’s a flicker of hope on Monday, August 10th. The afternoon brings a 2ft swell from the NNE with a 6-second period and combined energy of 25 (25). That’s still weak, but at least it’s something. The wind turns offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, keeping it clean. For a spot that’s been dead for over a week, this is the standout of the entire outlook. It’s not going to be world-class, but if you need a paddle and a few small waves, that’s your window.
After that, it’s back to tiny scraps – a 0.7ft to 1ft swell from the NNW through August 11th and 12th, with combined energy in the single digits to low teens. The wind stays light and offshore at times, so the surface will be clean, but you’ll be hunting for knee-high bumps.
Honestly, the whole 16 days is a bust. We’ve got a blank run of about 10 days with no real surf, and then only one afternoon that’s worth even a mention. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s best to leave the board at home.
Rusty.

Information about the Dogmans (Rincon) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dogmans (Rincon) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dogmans (Rincon) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dogmans (Rincon) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dogmans (Rincon)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
