The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Domes (Rincon) are a bit of a flat spell. The punchy little peaks and glassy sessions we love to see just aren’t on the cards. The swell is tiny, and a lot of the time it’s either blowing a gale or the wind is just messy. The water temp is sitting at 84°F (about average for this time of year), so at least you won’t need a wetsuit, but you will need patience.
We start off Thursday the 13th with a tiny 2ft NE swell, period short at 6 seconds, and cross-off wind. The combined energy is weak (26), and honestly, it’s just not worth paddling out for. The poor surf conditions match that. Friday the 14th is even smaller and more wind, so don’t bother.
Through that first weekend, we see a bump on Saturday the 15th morning with 4ft from the NE (period 7 seconds, energy of 138), but that gets wiped out by a risk of thunderstorms and 25 mph winds in the afternoon. Sunday is a write-off, too.
The best chance in the whole outlook, and it’s a quiet one, comes on Monday the 17th. The morning offers a glassy 2ft NE swell (period 6 seconds, energy 33), and it’s calm with glassy conditions. The afternoon is also glassy with 3ft. This is the pick of the bunch. It’s small, but if you have a longboard and just want to feel the glide with no wind, that’s your window.
The rest of that week and into the next is more of the same – tiny swells, short periods, and poor conditions. Tuesday the 18th morning is dead flat and glassy, but there’s literally no swell. We finally see a bit of offshore wind on Friday the 21st morning (SSE 19 mph), but the swell is only 2ft. Good for the wind, not for the waves.
We don't get any standout size until the very end. Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th are flat. The last real event is Wednesday the 27th, which has glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft NE swell. It’s small, but very clean.
Overall, don’t get your hopes up for power. Monday the 17th is the only real standout – it’s glassy, it’s clean, and you’ll have the place to yourself. It’s not a day for hooting and hollering, but for a peaceful dawny, that’s your best shot. The rest of the time? Kite surfers might get more out of the strong winds on the weekend than we will.
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.
