The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, we're looking at a pretty flat spell for the next couple of weeks. The overall pattern is a long, drawn-out period of very small waves and mostly poor surf conditions. There's nothing on the horizon that screams "go time," but we'll walk through it day by day.
Right now, and for the next week, it's a struggle. We're staring down a string of flat days with swell heights barely registering above 1 foot. Even with some glassy mornings on the 6th, 7th, and 8th, the wave energy is way too weak (6 to 32 on the energy scale). The wind is often light and okay, but there's just no push in the water.
The only slight flicker of life happens on Thursday, 10th September, in the afternoon. Domes (Rincon) might see a little bump up to 3 feet from the NE, with the energy climbing to a moderate 103. The wind is crossing offshore from the E, so it'll be clean, but the swell period is a short 6 seconds. It's surfable, but it's going to be pretty ordinary - short, weak lines that won't really wrap in. Still, if you're desperate, that Thursday afternoon window is your best bet for the entire 16-day run.
After that, it’s back to the flatness. From Friday the 11th all the way through to Monday the 21st of September, we're talking about swell heights barely hitting 1 foot. The energy reading drops back into the single digits and low teens. The mornings are often glassy, but there's simply no swell to work with. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Honestly, the whole setup is more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard. There’s just not enough juice in the water to get a proper ride. Keep the board waxed, but don't expect any fireworks. Forecasts can always change, but this blank run is looking pretty normal for the area right now.
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.
