The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Rincon. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, with only a few brief moments that might be worth a paddle.
The overall pattern is dominated by weak, short-period windswell from the northeast, with very little energy behind it. The swell direction is off, too – this spot needs something from the NNW to really light up, and we're not getting that. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything comes on Saturday, July 25th. The morning session at Domes (Rincon) is the only thing that even gets a nod. We’ll see a little 3ft swell from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just 76. It’s weak, but the wind is glassy. That's a major positive. The waves will be surfable but very ordinary. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but that’s not saying much. Expect crowds here, as it's often busy.
After that, the rest of the forecast is a desert. From July 27th right through to August 4th, it's a series of flat or near-flat days, with tiny waves and mostly poor conditions. The swell is just too small and inconsistent to get excited about. There are days with glassy conditions, but nothing to push through that glass. The combined energy values are consistently in the low single and double digits, sometimes even zero. This is a lean period.
For a more experienced crew, the late afternoon on July 29th might offer a tiny window with some clean, offshore wind and a 3ft swell, but it's still very weak. Honestly, this is a period to leave the boards in the car and watch the horizon. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re into that. The call is a long, blank run.
Rusty.

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.
