The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same picture for Domes, but in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
To be straight with you, this stretch of forecasts is a total bust. We’re looking at a big gap of nothing, starting right now on Thursday, the 6th of August, and stretching through the whole first week. The data is all showing poor conditions, day after day with no real waves to speak of.
The first hint of something comes early on Friday the 7th, but it’s a struggle. There’s a tiny 3ft swell from the NE, with a short 8-second period and moderate combined energy (103). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, so the surface will be clean, but the waves are just too small and weak. By the afternoon, it’s gone again.
The next few days are a write-off. Saturday morning the 8th has glassy conditions with a 2ft NE swell, but the energy is weak (57) and the period is short. It’s doing nothing. Sunday the 9th morning brings a little more size, with 4ft from the NE, but the period is a terrible 6 seconds and the wind is cross-shore, kicking up a little chop. Still not worth getting wet for.
This same pattern drags on through the second week. There’s a tiny spike on the afternoon of Friday the 14th, with a 4ft NE swell and a 7-second period, giving us moderate energy (166). The wind is cross-offshore from the E, keeping it clean. But it’s still not a good wave. The following Saturday afternoon the 15th sees the biggest swell of the whole period, hitting 8ft from the ENE. But with a 6-second period and strong cross-offshore winds, it’s a messy, windblown mess. The combined energy is strong (429), but the quality is poor. That’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle one.
In the final week, we get a few more glassy mornings, like on Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, but the swell is tiny and weak. The period on the 19th is a pathetic 5 seconds.
There is no standout session here. The water temp is a warm 84°F, which is about 1°F above normal for this time of year, so it’s pretty average. For waves, though, you’re staring down a long, dry spell. Domes is usually consistent, so this is a real downer. Keep the board in the truck.
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.
