The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat. The first proper surfable day won't be until Wednesday afternoon, the 16th, and even then it's a struggle. We're staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing going for us.
The first hint of anything comes on Wednesday afternoon, the 16th, with a tiny 1ft NNE swell, but it's from a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The energy is barely there at 11 (weak energy). It's clean though, with a cross-off breeze, so if you're desperate for a float, you might get a few knee-high bumps.
Thursday the 17th is a write-off. The morning is a no-go with onshore wind, and the afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a weak 3ft NE swell with a 6-second period.
Friday the 18th is the best of a grim bunch. The morning is glassy, absolute perfection for conditions, but the swell is only 1ft. The afternoon picks up a little to 3ft from the NE, but it's choppy with a stiff 12 mph breeze. The energy is still low (79).
The rest of the run is much of the same. There are some glassy mornings on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, but the swell is tiny, never pushing past 2ft. It's a flat spell. The one thing that stands out is the glassy conditions on the morning of the 23rd of July, with a 2ft NE swell that has a slightly longer period of 9 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The combined energy is still weak (40). It's the best of a bad lot.
Domes (Rincon) is a consistent point break, but it needs a proper NNW swell to work. The guidance says the optimum direction is from the NNW, but all we're getting is dribbles from the NE. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but in these conditions, it's going to be a lake. The spot can get crowded, but with no waves, that won't be an issue.
So, to sum it up: there's no standout. The best on offer is the glassy, tiny morning of the 23rd of July. If you're a beginner wanting to learn in safe, flat, clean conditions, that's your window. For anyone wanting a real wave, you're better off finding something else to do. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, it's a bust.
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.
