The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead for the Rincon area. Looking at the next sixteen days, there’s just nothing doing that’ll get your heart racing. We're looking at a long, flat run with barely a ripple to show for it.
Things are dead calm right from the start. Saturday the 15th is a write-off with a big 22 mph cross-off wind and zero swell to work with. The water’s a warm 85°, which is bang on average for this time of year, but you won’t be needing a wetsuit for a paddle out because there's no wave to surf. Sunday the 16th turns glassy but still flat as a pancake. This poor excuse for surf conditions hangs around for days. We’re talking a week or more of tiny 0.7ft to 1ft slop, if you can even call it that. The combined swell energy is a pathetic single or low double-digit number (like 0 to 16), so there’s just no power in the water. It’s not until the tail end of the run, around Sunday the 30th, that we see the same tiny 0.7ft NNE swell with glassy conditions, but it's still not surfable.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session here. The only spot on the map is Dogmans (Rincon), a reef break that is fairly consistent, but it’s just not getting any love from the ocean. With the swell being so tiny and the quality non-existent, it’s a hard pass for everyone. Let’s hope the forecasts change.
Rusty.

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.
