The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The only spot worth talking about is Domes (Rincon), and even then, it’s not exactly firing. The water is sitting at about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern here is a long, drawn-out lull. We’ve got a few days where the conditions are glassy, but the swell is tiny. The best chance to get wet without it being a complete waste of time is the morning of Friday, 28 August. That morning, we’ve got glassy conditions with a tiny 1ft swell from the NE, period of 12 seconds. The energy is weak (62), but it’s the cleanest window we get. It’s surfable, just very ordinary.
After that, things get worse. Saturday the 29th has a glassy morning, but the swell is a messy 2ft with a period of only 6 seconds—that’s weak, short-period wind swell, not much push. The next real chance doesn’t come until the morning of Monday, 8 September. That morning, we’ve got offshore wind and a 2ft swell from the N, with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy (100). It’s surfable, but still very ordinary.
So overall, there’s a big gap of poor conditions between the 28th and the 8th. The best of the whole period is that Friday the 28th morning, but don’t get your hopes up too high. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a dry spell. If you’re a kiter, the windier afternoons might be more interesting than paddle surfing here.
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.
