The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, chatting about the surf ahead.
It’s a quiet picture at Domes (Rincon). The swell is tiny and the energy is low for the first week and a half. Water temperature is about normal for the season.
The first real chance to get wet is on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 29. We see a 4ft swell from the NE with a 7-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SSE. The combined energy is 100 – moderate, but the best we’ve seen. The waves are surfable, but nothing special.
Thursday morning, July 30, is glassy with a 2ft NE swell, but energy is weak at 49. The afternoon brings 4ft NE swell and 112 energy, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy.
From Friday, July 31 through Tuesday, August 5, we hit a flat spell. Swell is tiny or nonexistent, with energy readings dropping to zero or single digits. A real dry stretch.
Things perk up a little on Thursday, August 6 morning – glassy, 3ft NE swell, 8-second period, and 67 energy. Still weak but surfable. The best session of the whole outlook is Friday, August 7 afternoon: 4ft NE swell, 7-second period, offshore wind from the SE, and energy of 134. That’s the standout. Clean conditions, and for a break that often sees crowds, it’s worth a look if you’re a beginner or intermediate.
Sunday, August 9 afternoon is glassy with 3ft NE swell and 65 energy – ordinary but clean.
The standout is Friday, August 7 afternoon. That 4ft NE swell with offshore winds and moderate energy is the best we’ve got. It’s not big, but it’s clean.
After that, it fades back into small, weak surf. A quiet run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can shift.
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.
