The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee and let’s talk about what’s happening at Domes.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real flat spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for from now until late September. The wait is long, nearly two weeks of tiny, weak waves with hardly any energy. You’ll see the combined swell energy sitting below 100 for most of that time, often just a measly 2 to 67. That’s about as exciting as a flat tire.
We finally get a glimmer of hope on Thursday the 24th. That morning, Domes sees a pulse of 3ft swell from the N with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 310, which is moderate, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean. This is the first real chance for a wave, but it’s still small and the afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore breeze.
Now, if you want the best of the whole outlook, you gotta circle Friday the 25th on your calendar. That morning, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNE with a solid 13-second period – that’s groundswell with some punch. The combined energy hits 683, which is strong, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and lined up. This is the standout. It’s not huge, but for a spot that’s been flat for weeks, this is the one to be on. Afternoon wind swings cross-on and messes it up, so be there early.
Saturday the 26th morning still has some leftover juice – 4ft from the NNE, 12-second period, glassy. Energy is down to 333 but still fun. After that, we trail off into smaller, weaker surf through the end of the month.
Water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year. No real surprise there.
So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a bust. Thursday the 24th is a maybe, but Friday the 25th morning is your best bet. Glassy, clean, and a real groundswell. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
