The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Domes (Rincon). The water is sitting at 84°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there. The big picture: we’ve got a long run of tiny, weak swell with pretty poor conditions. The first week is basically a write-off for anything decent. From Thursday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, it’s all poor surf with very little energy—the combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly under 50 (weak) and the heights are barely pushing 2 ft. You’ll be fighting for dribbles.
There’s a real gap here. You won’t see anything worth mentioning until Thursday the 23rd, and even then it’s just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The best of the whole period, and the only thing I’d call a standout, is the morning of Saturday the 25th. That’s when we get a bit of a lift: 3 ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds, a combined energy of 64 (still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got), and glassy conditions with zero wind. It’s a small, clean wave for the true beginners out there, but don’t expect any power. Crowds are often a thing at Domes, so expect company.
Also worth a look is the morning of Friday the 31st, still small at 3 ft from the NE, but with clean offshore vibes from the ENE at 3 mph and a combined energy of 67. It’s another small window of okay surf after a long dry spell.
Overall, this is a pretty flat and unexciting 16 days. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Saturday the 25th morning is your best bet. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Domes (Rincon) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
