The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead for the most part. We've got a promising little pulse showing up right at the end, but you'll have to be patient. There's basically nothing happening for the first week and a half, with days and days of tiny, weak surf. The first real window doesn't open up until the 9th of September, so that's a big gap of nothingness to get through.
The only name in the game around here is Domes (Rincon). It's a consistent point break that's great for beginners, and the water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, the standout window is the morning of Monday, September 9th. We finally see a pulse of life. The swell is coming in from the north at 3ft with a nice 11-second period, pushing a moderate 175 of energy through the lineup. What makes this the pick of the litter is the glassy conditions, with the wind swinging light from the NNW. That's about as clean as it gets at this point. Keep your eyes peeled for a potential session the morning after, on Tuesday, September 10th, too. It's a touch smaller at 2ft from the north, but the wind is light offshore from the ESE, keeping things clean with moderate energy (124). These two mornings are your best shot by a long shot.
The rest of the fortnight is forgettable. Tiny little knee-high slop from the NE, often blown out by strong onshore or cross-shore winds, especially that Sunday the 30th of August where the wind is howling at 22 mph. Not worth the effort. Things glass off here and there, but the swell just isn't there to back it up. The morning of the 7th of September is glassy too, but you're looking at waist-high dribble at best.
So, if you're keen, pencil in the 9th and 10th of September mornings. Until then, maybe wax the board for the sake of it. The long-range call for that little north pulse is promising, but we all know how that goes – keep your fingers crossed and the forecast close.
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.
