The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Domes (Rincon) over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, you’re looking at a pretty bleak run. The forecast shows a long stretch of tiny, weak swell with poor conditions ruling the roost for the first week and beyond. The water temp is sitting around 84°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first morning, Thursday the 30th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft wave from the NE with a short 8-second period, and it’s cross-shore. The combined swell energy is a weak 42, so there’s just not much power. It’s a write-off for any real surfing. That afternoon, a bit of swell bumps up to 4ft, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind gets stronger – still cross-shore. It’s messy.
Friday morning the 31st is a little better, with a 3ft NE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, so it’s clean. The energy is still low at 64, and the period is short at 7 seconds, so you’re looking at soft, weak waves. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The afternoon sees a bit more size at 3ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds and the wind picks up. Not great.
Saturday morning the 1st of August is glassy with a 2ft NE swell, but it’s tiny and weak, with only 24 combined energy. The afternoon has a 4ft swell and clean conditions, but again, the period is short at 6 seconds. It’s not horrible, but it's not good.
Sunday the 2nd is a write-off. The morning has a tiny 1ft wave with offshore wind, but the energy is a paltry 18. The afternoon turns into a windy, choppy mess with 16 mph winds and a 3-second period. Don’t bother.
From Monday the 3rd through to the end of the forecast, it’s a desert. Monday morning is glassy but only 1ft. The rest of the week is a repeated pattern of tiny swell, very low energy, and mostly cross-shore or onshore winds. The combined energy values are in the single digits or low teens – that’s basically flat. There’s a brief appearance of a 12-second period swell on Wednesday afternoon the 5th, but it’s only 0.3ft, so it’s a ghost.
The best you can hope for in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. That morning is dead calm with glassy conditions and a 2ft NE swell. The energy is still only 39, so it’s tiny, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see. The afternoon of the 8th has a 3ft NE swell, clean with a light offshore, and energy of 77 – that’s the most push you’ll get. It’s still small and weak, but it’s the standout of a very poor run. Sunday the 9th morning is also clean with 3ft.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly poor conditions through to the 14th of August. There’s a long gap with no real recommendations. The swell is just not there. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game. Don’t waste your energy.
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.
