The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Domes (Rincon). I gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. We’re looking at a solid stretch of tiny, weak conditions before something finally starts to build.
Right now through to the end of September, it’s pretty flat. For over a week, we’re seeing swell heights mostly between 0.3ft and 3ft, with combined swell energy barely cracking 50 (moderate energy). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The winds are all over the place, with some glassy mornings which at least make the water look pretty, but there’s just no push. It’s not really surfable for anyone looking for a proper ride.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday the 25th of September. That morning we get a bump to 3ft from the N, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 117 (moderate wave energy). Winds are light and clean, making for surfable waves but still fairly ordinary. The afternoon looks better with a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE, cleaning it right up. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but don’t expect barrels.
Now, the standout in this whole 16-day window is Sunday the 27th of September. That morning, we see a solid 7ft of swell from the N, with a 9-second period and a massive combined energy reading of 716 (strong to very strong wave energy). Winds are light and cross-off, so conditions will be clean. This is a proper upgrade. At that size, it’s getting a bit much for beginners, but for anyone with some experience, this is the session to circle on the calendar. The swell direction is NNW, which is right in the sweet spot for Domes.
Crowds can be an issue here, so expect company on that Sunday. Overall, the first week is a write-off, but the last few days offer some hope, with that Sunday 27th being the clear winner. Hang in there.
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.
