The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya what's what. It's Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a tough stretch ahead for Domes (Rincon). Looking over the whole 16-day window, the honest truth is there isn't a single session I’d chase. The combined swell energy barely gets a pulse; the highest I see is 97 (weak energy) on Friday, July 31st, and that's still got a score that reads "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, mostly a weak little northeast windswell with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, just not doing anything for this point break that really wants something from the NNW to get its act together.
Now, through the first week, the conditions tease you. You'll get glassy mornings with next to no wind – Sunday the 26th, Monday the 27th, and Thursday the 30th of July all have those perfect, clean windows. But with waves barely pushing 2 to 3 ft and that energy so low, it's just not enough to ride. It’s a flat spell with a clean surface. The water temp is about average for late July, so the wetsuit call is normal.
There's a real gap here, folks. From the end of July right through the first full week of August, the story doesn't change. We're looking at days and days of the same small, weak NE swell. The second week of August has the same sad tale: glassy mornings on the 5th and 7th with that tiny 2 ft bump, but the energy is still pathetic (36).
Honestly, this set-up is better for a longboard paddle on a mirror-flat lake than it is for surfing. If you're hell-bent on getting wet, you'll be fighting for scraps. But for any proper wave riding? This is a write-off. I'd say give the ocean a rest, check the forecast again in a few days – it can't stay this poor for long.
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.
