The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this spot.
Well, I’ve gotta be honest with you – the next 16 days look like a total flat spell for Dogmans (Rincon). There’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. The finder is showing zero recommendations the whole way through, so we’re looking at a long, dry run.
Right now, on Friday the 24th of July, we’ve got a tiny 0.3ft north swell with a short 8 second period. Combined wave energy is a measly 1, so there’s just no power behind it. Wind is light and glassy in the afternoon, which would be perfect if there was any swell, but there isn’t. The water is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 25th offers a little bump to 0.7ft from the north-northeast, period still short at 8 seconds, energy reading 6. Still not surfable. Sunday the 26th is even worse, with a 0.7ft, 5-second windswell and energy at 3. The cross-on wind won’t help.
After that, from Monday the 27th of July right through to Saturday the 8th of August, there are days where the swell is completely flat – zero wave height, zero energy. We get a few tiny whispers of 0.3ft and 0.7ft around the 4th and 5th of August, but with energy readings of just 2, 3, and 8, it’s not enough to surf. The wind does go glassy and clean on several mornings, which is a tease, but without swell, it’s just a flat, pretty lake.
This kind of blank run is not unusual for this area when there’s no swell in the water. The truth is, it’s a reef break that’s fairly exposed to a west-northwest swell, but none of that is showing up. For a solid 13 days in a row, from the 27th of July through the 8th of August, there’s absolutely nothing. The only faint glimmer is on the 5th of August morning with 0.7ft from the north-northeast at 9 seconds, energy 8, with glassy conditions – but that’s still a flat day for any surfer.
Don’t bother waxing up for now. The forecasts can change, but until then, the board stays in the car.
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.
