Table - best surf conditions forecast for Domes (Rincon) over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Domes (Rincon). I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty lean. There’s a real dry spell for decent surf, with a big gap of nothing much happening for the first several days. The water’s warm, around 84°, which is a touch above average for the season, so you’ll be comfortable in just boardshorts.
From Wednesday the 8th through the first week, it’s mostly flat and weak. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low double digits (60, 41, 56, etc.), and the swell period is short, generally 6-8 seconds, meaning the waves are weak and disorganised. Winds are a mix – some cross-off, some glassy – but the swell just isn’t there to make it worthwhile.
There’s a slight bright spot on Friday the 10th afternoon. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind goes light offshore from the SSE, leaving the surface clean. The combined energy hits 121 (moderate). It’s not a standout, but it’s the most surfable window in the first week. For a beginner, that 4ft is manageable, but the short period means it’ll be a bit soft. Crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone.
The second week stays pretty quiet. There’s a little push on the 21st and 22nd, with swell around 3ft from the NE, period 6-7 seconds, and combined energy up to 93. Winds are cross-off from the ENE, so the surface will be clean. But even then, the waves are small and weak. Nothing to write home about.
If you’re a beginner, this is a tough stretch. The biggest swell we see is only 4ft, and that’s on the 9th with poor conditions. The best bet is Friday the 10th afternoon for a few clean, modest waves, or maybe the 21st and 22nd for some clean but small surf. For the experienced surfer, there’s really nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those afternoons with a bit of wind and a cross-off breeze.
This is a period where the forecast can change, and it usually doesn’t stay this flat for long. But right now, the outlook is pretty grim.

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.
