The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Domes (Rincon) are a flat spell. There’s no good surf on offer right from the start, and we’re looking at a long, quiet run. The pattern shows tiny waves and poor conditions all the way through, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first few days, starting Tuesday the 8th of September, we’ve got swell around 1 ft from the NE with a period of 10 seconds – combined wave energy is weak at just 31. The wind is a cross-shore and there’s even a risk of thunderstorms. The water temperature is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing. But the surf itself is poor.
Wednesday the 9th starts glassy in the morning, with the same tiny 1 ft NE swell and a slightly longer 12-second period. The energy is still low (55), and the wind turns offshore in the afternoon, cleaning it up, but it’s not enough to make it worthwhile.
Thursday the 10th morning is dead calm with 2 ft NE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds – just weak, windswell chop. The energy is 61. The afternoon picks up a touch to 3 ft from the NE, still short period at 6 seconds, energy hits 95, and the wind is cross-offshore. It’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s a real struggle.
Beyond that, from Friday the 11th through to the 23rd of September, the swell never gets above 2 ft, with most days showing 0.3 ft to 1 ft. Periods vary from 5 to 15 seconds, but the energy stays in the single digits or low double digits – the highest is only 46 on the 17th. Winds are often glassy or cross-offshore in the mornings, but there’s simply no swell to ride.
There is one true standout? Honestly, no. There’s nothing that qualifies as a highlight. The best chance for a paddle is Thursday the 10th afternoon, with that 3 ft NE swell and clean cross-offshore wind – but even that is weak and short period. It’s a beggars-can’t-be-choosers situation.
For beginners, the swell never gets over 5 ft, so it’s never too big, but there’s just no wave to learn on. For experts, there’s nothing to ride.
The setup here is a point break, but with this tiny, short-period swell, don’t expect any shape. It’s a flat spell. If you’re a kite surfer, even that’s not interesting – the wind is mostly light.
To be honest, if you’re in Rincon, sit this one out. Forecasts can change, but right now the outlook is empty.
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.
