The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you: it's a tough run ahead for Domes. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, and right now it’s looking like a real dry spell. That first proper surf window doesn't really show up until the second week, so be prepared for some flat days.

Let's start from the top. Right now, through the end of August and into the very beginning of September, the energy is basically non-existent. We're talking tiny, weak swell with combined energy readings barely climbing out of the teens (like 19 or 23). The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°F, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't be needing a wetsuit for any of these ankle-snappers.

The first five or six days are a write-off. You'll see some glassy mornings on the 19th and the 22nd, but with a swell height of just 0.7ft to 2ft and period under 8 seconds, it's not worth paddling out. Even the Thursday afternoon on the 24th shows a little more size at 3ft, but it's coming with a moderate cross-shore wind and a period of just 6 seconds. It's messy and weak.

The real standout, the only time you might want to take a look, is on the 31st of August. Monday morning brings a glassy start with a bit of puff from the NNE at 1ft and a period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is 38 – still weak, but it's the cleanest we get. Then, Monday afternoon the wind goes glassy again with a 0.7ft swell but, here’s the kicker, the period jumps to 12 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell, which for a point break like Domes (Rincon) is perfect. It's not big, but that clean, glassy surface with a little long-period push could make for a few fun, smooth runners. The energy is still low (35), so don't expect power, but the shape could be there.

After that, the start of September looks flat again until the 2nd of September, Wednesday morning, where you get a 2ft NE swell with a 6-second period and clean offshores. It's small and weak but clean.

So, what's the call? The only true stand-out is the afternoon of the 31st of August at Domes. Glassy conditions, a long-period 12-second swell from the NNE. It's not a pumping day, but for a point break, that clean, lined-up energy is the best we've got. Everything else is for the longboard or a beach day.

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.
