The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. For the next week and a half, the swell is pretty much a no-show. We’ve got tiny, weak waves and a whole lot of waiting around. The first real, worthwhile surf doesn’t show up until Sunday the 8th of September. So, from now until then, it’s flat or near-flat with mostly poor conditions. There’s a glimmer of hope with a small bump on Monday the 31st of August (3ft from the NE), but the energy is weak (119) and it’s still pretty ordinary.
The standout is Domes (Rincon) – and it’s a beauty when it finally arrives.
Sunday morning, September 8th: This is the one we’ve been waiting for. A clean 3ft N swell rolls in with a nice 12-second period and the combined energy is solid at 304. The wind is glassy – absolute perfection. The swell direction from the north (optimum is NNW) is a great match. This is going to produce some clean, lined-up waves. This is the best on offer.
Wednesday morning, September 9th: The swell holds at 4ft from the N with a 11-second period and even higher energy at 322. Again, glassy conditions. Another top session.
Friday morning, September 11th: Still a good call. 3ft from the NNE with the same 11-second period, and glassy conditions. Energy sits at a moderate 238.
The water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing wild.
For the first week, just save your energy. The waiting game pays off with a cracking two mornings on the 8th and 9th. The 11th is also a solid shout. After that, the swell starts to fade again.
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.
