The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Well, I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for Domes (Rincon) is a tough one. There's really no good surf on offer, so don't expect to be waxing up anytime soon. The water temperature's sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
The whole run is a bit of a blank. From Thursday, August 20, right through to the first few days of September, every single session is rated as "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0 out of 10. The swell heights are tiny, mostly hovering between 0.3 ft and 2 ft, and the combined energy is weak, often under 100 (like 23, 15, 22). There's a brief moment on Thursday morning, August 27, where the swell bumps up to 3 ft and the energy hits 87 (weak), but it's still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The afternoon of Friday, August 28, sees a similar story with 3 ft swell and energy of 112 (moderate), but again, it's not good enough to get excited about.
The wind does offer some glassy moments, like Friday morning, August 21, and Saturday morning, August 22, but with almost no swell to work with, it's like a perfect day with no waves. The predominant swell direction is from the NE or NNE, which isn't ideal for Domes, as it prefers a NNW swell. The period is often short, between 5 and 7 seconds, meaning weak, disorganized waves. Even when the period stretches to 11 or 12 seconds, the swell is so small it doesn't matter.
So, I'm sorry to say, there's nothing to recommend here. It's one of those stretches where the forecast just isn't cooperating. But don't lose hope—forecasts can change, and it's not always this flat. Keep an eye on it, but for now, give it a miss.
Rusty.

Information about the Domes (Rincon) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Domes (Rincon) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Domes (Rincon) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Domes (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 (Domes (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 Domes (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.
