The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are pretty quiet here at Domes (Rincon). This is a consistent point break that’s beginner-friendly, but for the most part, we’re looking at a long stretch of marginal surf. The water’s sitting around 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Thursday, 13th August. That morning, we get a bit of a pulse with a 4ft NE swell, period around 6 seconds, and combined energy of 102 (moderate). The wind is glassy – calm, dead calm – which will make for clean, smooth conditions. It’s small, but for a spot that’s been flat for days, this is a welcome sight. The afternoon picks up a little more: 5ft NE swell, still short-period at 6 seconds, but offshore wind from the SE at 12 mph, keeping it clean. The energy bumps to 138 (moderate). This is the best on offer across the whole outlook. The swell direction (NE) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum NNW, but the offshore wind and glassy morning make it workable.
Friday, 14th August carries some leftover energy. Morning shows 4ft NE swell (129 energy), but the wind is light cross-shore, not ideal. The afternoon has 4ft NE swell (145 energy) with a light cross-off breeze – still clean but not as punchy as Thursday.
Beyond that, it drops off fast. Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th are tiny, under 2ft, and the wind isn’t helping. The rest of the second week looks very weak, with energy values in the single digits or low 20s. Nothing to get excited about.
So, the standout here is Thursday, 13th August – the morning glass-off session and the afternoon offshore wind give you the cleanest windows for a small but surfable wave. Friday is a backup, but it’s not as clean. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
