Table - best surf conditions forecast for Domes (Rincon) over the next 16 days.
Right, it’s a bit of a tough run for Domes (Rincon) over the next 16 days, I’ll be honest with ya. The finder is basically saying there’s nothing worth getting excited about for the whole stretch. We’ve got a solid 16-day blank here, with no proper surf to speak of for a while. The water is sitting at 84°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but it won’t matter if there’s no waves.
We start off on Friday the 10th of July with a tiny 2ft NE swell, period of just 6 seconds. That’s weak, short-period wind swell, and the combined energy is only 37 – that’s weak energy. It’s cross-on from the NNW, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Not worth a paddle.
The whole first week just stays flat or near-flat. Saturday the 11th has a 0.3ft swell, Sunday the 12th is 0.7ft, and it just keeps limping along with nothing over 3ft for the whole period. The energy values are all in the double digits, mostly under 100, which is weak. There’s a moment on the evening of Thursday the 16th of July where we get a 3ft NE swell with a combined energy of 84, and a clean cross-off wind from the ESE… but it’s still a weak, short-period wave. The notes on the data say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as good as it gets, and that’s not saying much.
We do get a few glassy mornings – like Friday the 17th of July morning with a glassy WNW wind, and Sunday the 19th of July morning with glassy NNW wind. But the swell is still tiny, 1ft to 2ft, with periods of 6 to 8 seconds. It’s not going to break with any shape or power. The swell direction is mostly from the NE, which is not the optimum for Domes – they want it from the NNW. So the wind might be clean, but the waves aren’t there.
Moving into the second week, from the 20th of July onwards, it’s even worse. The data shows “-” for swell height and period on several days, meaning no swell at all. We get a few 2ft blips on the 21st, 22nd, and 24th of July, but the energy is still paltry (30 to 48), and the period is stuck at 6 seconds. The wind is glassy or clean at times, but you can’t surf flat water.
Honestly, for a break like Domes that’s consistent, this is a real bummer. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. The good news is that it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, keep the board in the bag, mate. This is a hard pass.

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.
