The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Alright, let’s be straight up—this stretch ain’t gonna get the heart pumping. We’re looking at a 16-day run at Domes (Rincon), and honestly, the surf is flat to tiny for the bulk of it. There’s a solid gap from now until the 27th of August where you’re basically chasing dribble. The first real nod comes on the 27th, but even then, it’s nothing to write home about.

The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Friday the 21st of August through to Wednesday the 26th—forget it. Swell heights are mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft, with weak combined energy (12 to 50), and the wind is a mixed bag of cross, cross-off, and glassy at times, but the waves are just too small. Sunday morning the 23rd is glassy and calm, but the swell is only 1 ft. It’s a paddle at best.

Thursday the 27th of August morning is where things get slightly interesting. We’ve got a 2 ft swell from the NE, period 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 63—still weak, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is light cross-off from the NE, making it clean. The rating says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and I gotta agree. It’s a small, weak NE windswell, but it’s clean and it’s something. That’s the standout of the whole run, and it’s a low bar.

Saturday the 29th of August morning sees a 3 ft NE swell, period 7 seconds, energy 89, with glassy conditions. Again, it’s tiny, but it’s clean and the biggest of the run. If you’re desperate, that’s your other window.

After that, from the 30th of August through to the 5th of September, we’re back to dribble—0.3 ft to 2 ft, weak energy, and only occasional glassy pockets. The 4th of September morning has a 2 ft NE swell with glassy conditions, but it’s still poor surf.

So what’s the call? The only real option is Thursday the 27th of August morning, or maybe Saturday the 29th morning if you’re keen on a tiny, clean wave. Neither is a standout—just the least bad of a flat spell. Crowds are often at Domes, so expect company on those small windows.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, but right now, this is a week of dawn patrols with a lot of sitting around.

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.
