The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this 16-day window for Dogmans (Rincon) is a tough one. The reef is sitting there, fairly consistent, but the ocean just isn’t playing ball. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening, with only a few tiny, weak pulses that barely register. If you’re chasing waves, you’re gonna be disappointed.
The forecast starts on Monday 20 July with cross-off winds and zero swell. That flatness carries on through Tuesday 21 July. Wednesday 22 July finally shows a little life – a 2ft NNE swell with a short period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just 24 (weak). It’s poor surf, but Wednesday afternoon turns glassy. Still, that tiny, weak windswell won’t give you anything worth paddling for. After that, we drop back to zero on Thursday 23 and Friday 24, with glassy and clean conditions but no waves. Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 are glassy and calm, but still flat – a miserable run. Sunday afternoon sees a 0.3ft, 7-second N swell (energy 1) – that’s barely a ripple. The rest of the week and into August stays almost completely flat: a few 0.3ft pulses here and there, but nothing that breaks properly. The only glimmer is on Tuesday 4 August morning: a 1ft N swell with 8-second period and energy 12, glassy conditions – but again, it’s tiny and poor.
In short, there are no good surf options within this whole 16-day outlook. The lack of any consistent swell is unusual for Dogmans, which is usually fairly reliable. But sometimes the ocean just shuts down. Don’t hold your breath – check back in a few days, forecasts can change. For now, leave the boards at home.

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.

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.
