The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Domes (Rincon) is a tough one for the next week and a half. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely-there surf. The swell is tiny and weak, mostly from the NE, with combined energy values barely getting into double digits – often just a measly 49 or 65. The wind does offer some nice glassy moments, like on the morning of the 1st of August and the 3rd of August, but with waves only around 1ft to 2ft, it’s just not enough to push a surfer around. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until the morning of the 11th of August. That Tuesday morning, we start to see a shift. The swell direction swings around to the NNW, and the period bumps up to a solid 10 seconds, giving the waves a bit more shape. The swell height is still only 2ft, but the combined energy jumps to 112, which is a noticeable step up. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. It’s a proper surfable wave, but it’s still very ordinary.
The standout session, and the only one I’d really get excited about, is the morning of the 13th of August. We’ve got a NNW swell with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy hits 207 – that’s moderate wave energy and a real sign of life. The swell is still only 3ft, but with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE, the conditions will be clean. The NNW direction is a good match for Domes. This is the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but this one has promise.
Before that, from the 30th of July right through to the 10th of August, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, the energy is low, and even when it’s glassy, it’s not worth paddling out for. The 14th of August shows a drop back to small, weak conditions again.
Overall, it’s a lean run. The one good morning on the 13th is the only real highlight. Hold out for that.
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.
