The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – for a long stretch here, it’s looking pretty flat and sad. We’ve got a proper drought on our hands. From now until the end of the first week of September, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are just messy. You’ll be looking at a solid week-plus of knee-high dribble and onshore chop. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off waxing the longboard just in case, but don’t hold your breath.
Then, finally, things start to wake up. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. That morning, Domes (Rincon) is looking like the standout. We’ve got a solid 3.6 ft of north-northwest swell rolling in, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, meaning clean lines and some push. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which is a huge plus. The wave energy is moderate (301), so there’s a bit of grunt behind it. This is a point break, so that longer period swell will wrap in nicely and hold its shape. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, which is great, but it can get crowded here, so keep your head on a swivel. The water temp is a toasty 84.9°F, which is about average for this time of year. This is easily the best session on offer, a real diamond in the rough.
The morning of Thursday the 10th of September is also worth a mention. Another 3.6 ft swell from the north-northeast, again with a 11-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is a bit less (279), but it’s still decent. The afternoon on both days gets wrecked by a cross-onshore breeze, so get it while it’s clean.
Overall, it’s a long, flat wait, but that Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th morning windows are the real deal. Get out there if you can.

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.
