The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening around the Rincon area.

It’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch of days, folks. We’ve got a long run of small to tiny surf with very little energy in the water. The numbers are all low, and most of the time it’s flat or near-flat. Don’t get your hopes up for anything worth paddling out for.

The only spot that even shows a pulse is Domes (Rincon). It’s a beginner-friendly point break that’s consistent and exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is about average for this time of year.

We’ve got a real dry spell here. From Sunday the 16th right through to Monday the 31st, there’s barely a ripple. Swell heights mostly sit between 0.3 ft and 3 ft. The combined wave energy stays in the weak range, with values like 138, 28, 10 – all below 100. Direction is mostly from the NE and NNE, but the periods are short, between 4 and 10 seconds usually. A couple of longer period swells show up later, but they’re just too small to matter.

Wind is mostly light to moderate, and there are some glassy moments, especially on the morning of Tuesday the 18th, Thursday the 20th, Sunday the 23rd, and Monday the 24th. But with the swell so tiny – 0.7 ft to 1 ft – it’s still barely surfable. You might catch a knee-high wave on a glassy morning, but it’s a real scratch for a ride.

The only flicker of something more comes on Wednesday the 26th. The afternoon shows 1 ft from the ENE with a 10-second period, combined energy of 63 (still moderate but the best of the run), and cross-off wind. It’s described as surfable but very ordinary. That’s the closest we get to a session.

If you’re a kiter, the beach setup with these small, clean conditions might actually be more your thing than a paddle surfer’s. But for those of us on a shortboard or longboard, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but right now, there’s no standout day. Thursday the 27th onward stays tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft, with short to moderate periods. The energy is weak, with values like 27, 32, 34.

So, bottom line: no real standouts here. It’s a flat spell that lasts pretty much the whole 16 days. If you’re itching to get wet, keep an eye on that Wednesday the 26th afternoon – just don’t expect much.

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.
