The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got for Domes (Rincon). To be straight with you, this 16-day forecast is a bummer. It’s flat, it’s weak, and there’s a whole lot of nothing on the menu for the better part of two weeks.
We’re starting out now, Tuesday the 25th of August, and it’s a ghost town. Swell heights are barely 0.3 ft to 1 ft with short, weak periods. The combined energy reading is a pathetic 14, 6, 4 – it’s like the ocean forgot to show up. Most days score a zero and are described as “poor surf.” You’d be better off going for a swim.
The first bit of action doesn’t come until Friday the 28th of August morning. We get a 1 ft swell from the NE with a 12-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 72. It’s rated as “surfable but very ordinary.” The wind is glassy though, so it’ll be clean and pretty. For a point break, that’s just not enough juice to get excited about.
Then it’s another dry spell. Saturday the 5th of September morning is the next highlight: 2 ft NE swell at 12 seconds, energy at 87, and glassy winds. Again, surfable but ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The only period that gets close to interesting is way out at the end. Tuesday the 8th of September morning brings a 2 ft swell from the N with a 12-second period, and the combined energy finally breaks into triple digits at 125. That’s moderate energy. Winds are cross-off and clean. It’s still only rated “surfable but very ordinary,” but this is the pick of the litter. Wednesday the 9th of September morning follows with a 3 ft swell from the NNE, 10-second period, and energy at 141. Glassy again. For a beginner-friendly point, these two mornings are your only real chances to get a proper wave, but don’t expect anything special.
Crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone. For the size and quality on offer, this is more of a longboard or foiling deal. If the wind picks up, it might be fun for the kite crew. For a straight-up surfer, it’s a lot of waiting for very little reward.
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.
