The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Domes. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a dry spell. The good news is, Domes is a consistent point break, so it doesn't usually stay flat for long, but this 16-day window is looking rough. There's a big gap of surf that's just too small, too weak, or blown out to get excited about.
We start on Wednesday, the 9th of September. The morning has a tiny, glassy 1ft NE swell, but it's carrying a weak energy of 59 and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." The water is a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the NE, but the period drops to a short 6 seconds, and the energy is only moderate at 100. The wind is a cross-offshore, so the waves are clean, but the wave comment says "very ordinary conditions." It's surfable, but barely.
Through Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, it's more of the same – tiny swells around 2ft, short periods, and not enough energy. The combined energy drops to 64 and then down to 22. The wind is glassy at times, but the wave quality is just poor. The whole weekend of the 12th and 13th is a bust. The swell is under 1.0ft with energy in the single digits, and the wind turns fresh and cross-shore, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out.
The following week, from Monday the 14th through to the 23rd of September, is a real grind. The combined swell energy gets stuck in the teens and twenties, with swell heights barely cracking 1ft. The wind is mostly light, but the swells are too weak and short-period to do anything with. The wave comments are consistently "poor surf conditions." The only real glimmer comes on the afternoon of the 23rd of September, when a 1ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period shows up, with a moderate offshore wind from the SE. The energy is still only 27 and the height is tiny, but it's the cleanest we'll see it. Even then, it's not worth the drive.
So, the honest truth is this: we've got a long, flat, and unremarkable couple of weeks ahead. The period between the 9th and the 23rd is essentially a washout for any decent surf. The forecast can always change, and Domes is a consistent point, so it might surprise us, but right now, I'd leave the boards in the car and save the energy.
Rusty.

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.
