The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta say it's a real quiet stretch for the Rincon area. There's a big, stubborn lump of nothing happening. We're looking at a solid gap of over a week with no real surf to speak of. The first chance of anything even close to rideable doesn't show up until Saturday the 29th of August, and even then, it's a long shot. So, for the first few days, don't even bother waxing up.
The only spot in the game is Domes (Rincon). For the first week, it's just tiny, weak dribble. You're looking at swell heights of 0.3 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the NE. The energy is non-existent, with combined swell energy values in the single digits and low double digits (10, 20, 6). It's a beginner-friendly point, but there's nothing to ride. The wind is often glassy or light, which is a tease, but the swell is just too small to do anything with.
The whole period is a bust. The best you get is a slight glimmer on Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. We see a tiny bump to 3 ft from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the ESE and the combined energy is a weak 73. The forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'd agree. You might find a knee-high ripple, but it's going to be a battle for scraps. After that, it's back to flatness. The water temp is about 85°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
There's nothing else on the horizon. The second week of the forecast is even more lifeless, with swell dropping to 0.3 ft and 0.6 ft. It's a solid 16-day drought. Keep the board in the shed and wait for the next system.
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.
