The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. For the next couple of weeks, swell is gonna be pretty thin across the Rincon area. Don’t expect much push for a while. The first few days are a write-off – you’ll see tiny, weak waves with no real energy behind them. It’s not until around Thursday the 13th that we start seeing a little bump in size, and even then, it’s nothing special. The standout moment comes later, but you’ll have to wait.
We’re looking at Domes (Rincon) for the whole forecast window. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about 1° above the norm for this time of year – so nothin’ out of the ordinary, just your typical warm bath.
Right now and through Wednesday the 7th, the surf is tiny – 2ft to 3ft – with a weak, short-period NE swell. The combined energy is very low, between 17 and 97 (weak). Wind is mostly glassy in the mornings, so the surface is clean, but there’s just not enough wave to get excited about. Afternoons get a bit bumpy with onshore or cross-shore breezes.
Thursday the 8th is ordinary – 3ft to 4ft, short period, still weak energy. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the waves are barely moving.
Friday the 9th onward is a total flat spell. Monday the 12th morning gives you a glassy 1ft, but the energy is a mere 34. You’re mostly chasing tiny, weak lines.
Things finally pick up on Thursday the 13th. That morning is still small (2ft), but by the afternoon we see 4ft from the NE with a period of 7 seconds and combined swell energy jumping to 163 (moderate). The wind is clean and cross-offshore, which is a solid combo for Domes. This is the highlight of the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but it’s the most surfable we get – clean lines, a bit of push, and the crowd factor is worth noting: Domes is often busy, so don’t expect it to yourself.
Friday the 14th morning is okay – 3ft, same direction, but the afternoon gets blown out by a 15 mph cross-offshore wind that’ll put a chop on it. Still, there’s some moderate energy (154) if you can handle the breeze.
After that, from Saturday the 15th right through to the end of the forecast on Thursday the 20th, it drops right back to tiny, weak stuff – mostly under 2ft, with combined energy barely hitting double digits. A few mornings are glassy, but there’s no wave to ride.
So if you’re keen, pencil in Thursday the 13th afternoon at Domes – it’s the only real shot at something rideable. For the rest, keep the board in the rack or go for a paddle.

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.
