The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Look, I’m gonna level with you right off the bat: this 16-day window is a total bust for Domes (Rincon). There’s no sugar-coating it. We’re looking at a flat spell that just keeps dragging on. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the afternoon of Thursday, September 10th, and even then it’s a sorry excuse for a wave.
For the first several days, from Sunday the 6th right through to Thursday morning the 10th, it’s all tiny, weak junk. Swell heights are barely scraping 1ft, with periods so short they’re practically wind chop. The combined energy is pitiful, mostly in the single digits or low tens. You’d be better off paddleboarding. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is about a degree and a half above what’s normal for this time of year, so that’s a little unusual, but honestly, you won’t feel it because you’ll be sat on the beach.
Thursday afternoon, September 10th, we finally see something pop up. A 3ft swell from the NE. It’s still a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 116, which is just sneaking into moderate territory. The wind is light and cross-offshore at about 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. The file calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” I’d call it a desperate paddling session for someone who hasn’t had a wave in a week. The rating for the break is a solid 4/5 at other times, but right now? Beggars can’t be choosers. Crowds at Domes can be ‘often’ a problem, so you can bet a few other desperate souls will be out there.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Friday the 11th through to Monday the 21st of September is just a long, sad run of tiny waves – mostly less than 1ft. The afternoons pick up a little wind that could get cross-onshore later on, making it even worse. Combined energy rarely breaks 40. There’s a few glassy mornings with no wind, but on a 1ft wave, glassy just means you can see how sad it is more clearly.
The absolute best that this window has to offer is that Thursday afternoon, September 10th. It’s a 3ft NE swell with clean, cross-offshore wind at the peak of the day. That’s it. If you’re desperate for a surf, be there. If you can wait, wait for a proper swell. This is a drought.
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.
