The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in from the Rincon area. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a flat one for a good stretch. It’s not until Wednesday the 9th that Domes (Rincon) finally shows something worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about for over a week straight. We’re looking at an 8-day dry spell of tiny, weak, un-surfable conditions. Water temp sits at a warm 86°, that's about 2° above the norm for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The first real chance for a session comes on Wednesday morning, September 9th. The swell ticks up to a mere 2ft from the N, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is still weak at (90), but with a glassy, calm morning, this could be a fun little longboard morning for the beginner crowd. That NW swell direction is a pretty good match for this point break. The afternoon also looks clean with a light offshore breeze, but with ENE winds at 9 mph, it's still clean but just a touch more texture on the water.
The real standout in this otherwise quiet 16-day window is Thursday, September 10th, first light. Domes sees the biggest push with a 3ft swell from the N, and a steady 10-second period. The combined wave energy bumps up to a moderate (171), and with a glassy, off-shore NW wind, that’s our best bet. It’s still small by reef standards, but for a point break, that longer-period N swell could offer a nice little wall. The water is calm and clean, the best of a flat period. Just know that crowds are often an issue here, especially when it’s the only game in town, so expect company.
After that, the swell fades. Friday the 11th morning is still surfable but ordinary with 2ft, and then it’s back to the small stuff for the rest of the period. If you’re an absolute beginner, you might squeeze a longboard cruise out of the glassy mornings, but for anyone wanting a proper wave, you’re chasing that Thursday morning window.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

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

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.
