The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Domes (Rincon).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Domes. We’ve got a long stretch of meager, mostly poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at about 85°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a steamer.
The first bit of hope comes on Monday afternoon, the 10th of August. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell out of the NE, with a short 6-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which will keep things clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – just a little something to get wet if you’re desperate. The energy is weak (88).
Then we get a bit of a bump on Friday morning, the 14th of August. Swell picks up to 5ft from the ENE, period still a short 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 286, which is moderate. Winds are light cross-shore, keeping it clean. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the Monday morning of the 17th of August. We’ve got 5ft from the NE with a 7-second period, and the energy is a moderate 255. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, so the surface should be clean. It’s still just a marginal day, but it’s the pick of the bunch. For a beginner-friendly point break like Domes, this is about as good as it gets in this run.
After that, it drops back into the doldrums. The rest of the window is filled with tiny, weak swells under 3ft and glassy or light wind conditions, but the waves just aren’t there. We’re talking combined energy values in the single digits and teens.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the best advice is to keep your board in the car, but don’t rush. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a real quiet spell.

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.
