The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Straight up, it's a bleak outlook. We've got a massive 16-day window with next to nothing. You're looking at a 3-day blank to start, with the first pathetic little pulse showing up on the morning of Thursday, September 3rd.
The only spot in the mix is Dogmans (Rincon). It's a reef break that needs a solid WNW swell to work. We're not getting that. Water's sitting at about 85°F, which is dead average for this time of year.
From that Thursday morning all the way through to Wednesday the 16th, it's just tiny, weak surf. The swell's coming from the north to north-northeast, the total wrong direction for the break. The combined energy never gets strong, peaking at a measly 49 on the morning of Thursday the 10th.
If you're dying to paddle out, Thursday the 10th morning is your "best" shot. You'll find glassy conditions and a 1ft wave from the north at 9 seconds. That's short-period, weak wind swell. On a reef like Dogmans, it's not going to produce much shape. It'll be tiny and soft.
There are zero standout days here. It's a run of poor conditions. For anyone looking for real waves, this isn't it. It's more of a lake paddle than a surf session. Keep your board in the car and wait for a real swell.
Rusty.
