The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’ve got the skinny on the next couple of weeks for Domes (Rincon).
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle out, this forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell that’s just not going to deliver much. The energy stays low, with combined energy figures mostly in the single digits or low teens, barely cracking 100 on a couple of afternoons towards the middle of the month. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your butt off while you’re waiting for a wave that never comes.
The first real glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, shows up around Thursday, September 10th. The morning starts clean and glassy, with a little 2ft swell from the north, but the period is a short 10 seconds. The energy finally bumps up to 131 in the afternoon, but it’s still just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The winds stay glassy, which is a huge plus, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. There’s a little window on the 10th afternoon that’s the best of the whole run, and it’s still a one-star day.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The rest of the forecast is a parade of poor surf conditions. The wind does turn offshore for a solid run from Thursday, September 17th, through to the end of the period on the 20th, with clean conditions. But the swell doesn’t respond. It’s tiny, mostly 1ft, with short periods and combined energy scraping the bottom of the barrel. It’s a classic case of everything looking good on paper except for the one thing that actually matters – the swell.
If you’re a beginner, it’s not dangerous, but it’s not fun either. For the experienced crew, it’s a straight-up skip. This setup with the clean, offshore winds and tiny swell could actually be a fun session for a kite surfer, but for a regular surfer, it’s a frustrating wait.
So, to sum it up: the best of a bad bunch is the afternoon of Thursday, September 10th, but even then, don’t expect much. The rest is a long dry spell.
Rusty.
