The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim out there for a wave. For the next 16 days, the pickings are real slim. We got Domes (Rincon) as the only spot on the map, and honestly, it’s a flat spell.
The water’s sittin’ at about 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing out of the ordinary.
We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. From now, basically Friday the 21st of August, all the way through to Friday the 28th of August, you’ll mostly see tiny waves with hardly any energy behind them. Most of the time the combined energy is barely tickin’ over, like that 2 to 18 mark – weak stuff. The winds are all over the shop, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no swell to work with.
Now, there is a little blip on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning shows a bump to 3 ft from the NE, with a bit more energy (113). Then in the afternoon, the swell jumps to 7 ft from the ENE, with a hefty combined energy of 368, but the period is a short 6 seconds – that’s gonna be a messy, choppy mess. The wind is cross-on from the N, making it look like more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle session. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s gonna be a battle. It’s a real "marginal" call.
After that, we sink back into flatland. The rest of the run into early September shows tiny, weak pulses and mostly onshore or cross-off breezes. For a spot that’s usually consistent, it’s a tough run. The only real "surfable" moment is Friday morning the 28th of August, with a glassy 1 ft wave, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. Honestly, lads, park the boards for a while. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Domes (Rincon) Surf forecast

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.
