The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Domes (Rincon). We're in for a long stretch of quiet conditions here, I'm afraid. The forecast tells me there's basically nothing worth paddling out for over the entire 16-day window. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for the time of year.
The first sign of any real surf doesn't show up until Friday the 14th, and even then, it's small and ordinary. We start with a morning session of 3ft from the NE with a weak 7-second period, making for surfable waves but very ordinary conditions. The combined energy is only 85, so it barely registers. The afternoon fades to nothing.
Saturday the 15th is a real letdown – a ghostly 1.0ft NNE swell on the morning with a long 12-second period, but the energy is pitiful at 27. The afternoon is even worse.
The rest of the first week is a bust. Monday the 17th gives us some offshore wind from the SSE, which keeps things clean, but waves are still only knee-high at 2ft from the NE. The energy stays low at 40–41. Not worth suiting up for.
We slide into the second week, and it's more of the same. Tuesday the 18th starts glassy, but the swell is a paltry 0.7ft. Wednesday the 19th is glassy again, but with only 0.7ft on offer. Thursday the 20th has a little 1ft NE swell, but the wind is onshore. Friday the 21st is glassy in the morning with a bit of 2ft, but it's still tiny. The entire run through to the 27th of August remains flat or near-flat, with waves barely cracking 2ft and combined energy values often in the single digits or low 20s.
There are no standout days. This is a blank run from start to finish. For an exposed point like Domes, it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now the ocean is asleep.
Take care, and check back with me later.

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.
