The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is looking pretty flat for the most part. We've got a real dry spell on our hands.
The only break that even flickers to life is Domes (Rincon) , a point break that's consistent and usually a good one for beginners. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there.
The first sniff of anything worthwhile won't come until Thursday, August 13th. Thursday morning is glassy, but there's nothing happening. The afternoon, however, sees a small pulse. Swell is 4 ft from the NE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 151. It's surfable, but very ordinary. Wind is glassy from the SSW, so it'll be clean, but it's not going to set the world on fire.
Friday the 14th has a similar 4 ft from the ENE in the morning, with moderate energy (168), but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph, keeping things clean. Still, it's just okay.
Saturday the 15th morning has 4 ft from the NE, but by the afternoon the wind cranks up to 22 mph from the NE, bumping the swell to 7 ft with a very weak 6-second period. That's a lot of lumpy, messy energy (360) and it's going to be a washing machine. For a point break, that's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
After that, it's a long, grim run. From Sunday the 16th all the way through to Tuesday the 25th of August, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. The swell drops right off, with heights mostly under 3 ft and energy levels barely scraping into double digits. There's a few glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, but with nothing to surf, it doesn't matter.
The absolute best on offer is that Thursday afternoon the 13th and Friday morning the 14th. If you're desperate, paddle out for a small, clean wave. But honestly, this is a rough outlook. It's a long stretch of nothing. For a spot that's usually consistent, it's a bummer.
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.
Domes is 18 km (11 miles) from the city of Aguadilla. If you plan a holiday in Puerto Rico, look for hotels and other accommodation in Aguadilla. Aguadilla has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
