The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat, and let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, straight up: this is a quiet spell for the Rincon area. The ocean is pretty much taking a nap, and there’s not a lot of push to get excited about.
We’re looking at a long, dry gap here. For the first eight days, from Tuesday the 1st all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, the surf is basically non-existent. We’re talking tiny, gutless waves that barely register. That’s a whole week of flat spells and small wind slop. You’d be better off cleaning your board or checking the tide pools.
The first real flicker of something happens on Wednesday the 9th of September. Domes (Rincon) starts to show a pulse. That afternoon, we’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the NE, and the combined wave energy is sitting at 106 (moderate). The wind is switching to a light offshore from the SE, which is a nice touch, keeping it clean. The period is only 6 seconds, so it’s a short, choppy wind swell, but it’s something. The water temperature is a balmy 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed. Now, this spot is a consistent point break, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave, but with the crowds listed as ‘often’, you can expect a few others in the water with the same idea. Is it a standout? Not really. It’s a slight improvement on a dead flat ocean.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. We get a tiny pulse on the 12th, a 2ft NE swell with clean offshore wind, but again, the energy is low (41), and it’s barely a ripple. The rest of the forecast through to the 16th is a repeat of poor surf, glassy mornings with no size, and messy afternoons.
Look, there’s no big, pumping swell on the horizon. The best you’ll get is a very average, small clean-up on the 9th. For those who are desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, the forecast for the next two weeks is a snooze-fest.

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.
