The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get straight into the outlook for Domes (Rincon). The forecast is pretty grim over the next 16 days. There's a real lack of any decent swell, and combined with tricky winds, it's a tough period for surfers around here.
Right from the start, on Monday the 31st of August, we've got a tiny 2.3 ft swell from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-shore from the NE at 9 mph, and the combined swell energy is a weak 74. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85.5°, which is about average for this time of year. But honestly, the surf is just poor. The whole first week, through to Sunday the 6th of September, is a total write-off. We're looking at flat, tiny waves, mostly under 1.6 ft, with a mix of glassy mornings and tricky afternoon winds. There's no energy in the water at all.
After that, the surf tries to flicker back to life around Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning sees a 1.6 ft swell from the N with an 11-second period, which is a bit longer, but the wind is onshore. The afternoon gets a little better with a 3.0 ft swell from the NE, period of 6 seconds, and a glassy wind. The combined energy hits 103, so it's a weak pulse. The record says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that's about right. It's not going to set the world on fire.
Then there's another gap of poor conditions until Tuesday the 15th of September. That afternoon, we see a 3.3 ft swell from the NE with an 8-second period, and a glassy, calm wind. The combined energy is 132, which is still weak. The record again says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's the best of the whole period, but that's not saying much.
Overall, this is a very quiet stretch. Domes is a consistent point break, which is usually a good sign, but even a consistent spot can't make waves appear out of thin air. The first week is a total blank, and while the second week shows a couple of tiny, ordinary pulses, there's nothing to get excited about. If you're keen, the afternoon of the 15th of September is your best bet for a knee-high cleanup, but it's a long wait for a very small reward.

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.
