The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the local scene. We’re at Domes (Rincon) and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and uninspiring. There’s a nasty gap of several days right at the start where there’s simply nothing worth paddling for. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first little blip of interest comes on Wednesday, July 29 in the afternoon. Domes, this point break, is consistent, but it’s gonna be tiny. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’ll be weak and a bit messy. The combined energy is low (77), so it’s not packing any punch. The good news is the wind goes light offshore from the SSE, which will clean it up. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Good for a beginner to get a few, but don’t expect much.
Thursday, July 30 afternoon is a bit better. The swell picks up to 4ft from the NE, still a short 7-second period, but the combined energy just tips into moderate (112). The wind is glassy from the S, so it’ll be clean. Again, it’s surfable but very ordinary. Not a standout.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is a total write-off – tiny waves, onshore or cross-shore winds, and just poor conditions. The best part of the whole forecast is actually the very end, on Wednesday, August 12. It’s still a small swell, 4ft from the NE, but it’s the same 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (135). The wind goes dead calm – glassy – which is a major positive. Clean, glassy conditions on a consistent point break. Still, it’s not a big swell, but it’s the cleanest, most user-friendly window we’ve got. It’s the only real highlight.
So, if you’re determined to get wet, wait for the glassy mornings at the end of the window. The rest of the time, it’s a flat spell. Domes (Rincon) is a beginner-friendly point, but with these tiny swells, it’s more about the peace and quiet than the waves.
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.
