The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Domes (Rincon). This is a point break that’s normally pretty consistent and beginner-friendly, but right now we’re looking at a long stretch of flatness. The water’s sitting at 84°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but noticeable if you’re used to the normal temps.
From Sunday the 19th right through to Thursday the 24th, it’s all zeros. No swell to speak of, just tiny slop or onshore chop. The wind’s all over the place, but the energy just isn’t there. Don’t bother.
Then on Saturday morning the 25th, we get a little window. The swell comes in from the northeast at 3ft, period 8 seconds – mostly windswell, not a lot of push. Combined energy is only 71 (weak). The wind is light northeast at 3 mph, cross-off, so it’s clean. The waves are surfable, but ordinary. It’s the only thing on the board, so if you’re desperate, go early. Just know it’s small and not the direction Domes likes best – it really wants a north-northwest swell to line up properly.
After that, from Saturday afternoon through to the end of the forecast on August 3rd, it’s back to nothing. Glassy mornings here and there, but the swell is tiny, periods short, and the energy rarely cracks double digits. Even the consistent reputation of Domes can’t make something out of nothing.
So, one tiny window Saturday morning the 25th, and that’s it. Not a classic outlook, but that’s how it sits. Keep an eye on the charts – things can change.
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.
