The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you.
Look, the next couple of weeks for Rincon is a total write-off for any kind of decent paddle surfing. We've got a solid 16-day window, and honestly, there's not a single standout session in there. The whole run is just a flat, poor-quality stretch. You'll be looking at empty, weak lines more suited to a longboard paddle than a proper surf.
The water temp's sitting around 84° at the start, which is about 1° above normal—warm and average for the time of year, but that's the only highlight.
Forget any hope of waves for the first week. From the 25th of July right through to around the 3rd of August, the swell is tiny and all over the shop. You get a bit of a pulse on the 29th of July Wednesday afternoon up to a 4ft NE swell, but it's weak (combined energy of just 131) with a short 7-second period. The wind is clean, but it's just not enough to make anything worth getting out of bed for. Most days are glassy or offshore with no real swell to work with. It’s just a long, drawn-out dry spell.
The second week doesn't get much better. The swell stays tiny and onshore or cross-shore. You might see a very long-period pulse of 12 seconds on the 8th of August Saturday morning, but it’s a measly 1ft from the NE, and the energy is weak (74). It breaks too straight for a beach setup and won't even wrap into a point. The wind is cross-shore, making it a total mess.
There’s just nothing to recommend here. For a spot that's consistent, this is an unusual blank run, but it happens. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep the board in the car and wait—forecasts can change.
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.
