The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Domes are a flat spell with very little to get excited about. The first real surfable moment doesn’t pop up until Saturday, July 26th, so there’s a long dry gap at the start.
The pick of a very poor run is Saturday morning, July 26th at Domes (Rincon). We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 69, so it’s not got any power. But the wind is glassy – dead calm – and that makes it clean for the beginner-friendly point. The water temp is a balmy 84°, which is 1° above normal for the season. Just don’t expect anything more than ankle-knee high waves.
After that, it’s more of the same. Saturday afternoon, July 26th brings a 3ft NE swell (short period) but with a risk of thunderstorms. Wednesday afternoon, July 29th offers a 3ft NE swell, period at 6 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the ENE. It’ll be clean, but the energy is weak (68) and the period is very short, meaning soft, slow waves.
The second week is a real yawn. From Thursday, July 31st through to Saturday, August 9th, the swell stays under 3ft, periods are short, and most days mix glassy mornings with poor surf. The afternoons get windy or stormy. The only faint hope is glassy mornings on August 1st and August 6th with 2-2ft NE swell, but it’s still tiny. The combined energy rarely hits 50. If the wind picks up, this setup might work better for kiteboarding than paddle surfing.
Keep the board in the car, but maybe leave the wax in the garage. The longer-range swells from August 5th onward have a better period (12-13 seconds) but the height is a pathetic 1ft. It’s a promise of better things, but not yet.
Rusty.

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.
