The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the only spot on the menu for this forecast: Domes (Rincon).
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and a whole lot of nothing happening. From now through early August, the energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is barely registering, mostly hanging out in the doldrums (under 100), which tells you all you need to know about the lack of push.
The first real chance to even get your feet wet doesn’t come until Saturday, July 25th. Saturday morning is the one true standout here. We’ll see a tiny little bump of swell, about 3 ft from the Northeast. But here’s the good news: the wind is forecast to be dead calm, glassy. That’s a major positive. It’ll be tiny, but if you’ve got a log, it might just be the most fun you have all week. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The next little flicker of hope is Wednesday, July 29th in the afternoon. Swell pushes up to 3 ft from the NE, and we get a clean, offshore-ish breeze. The energy is still low (93), but for a small wave day, that’s as good as it gets. For the rest of the period, it’s all flat, wind-affected, or just plain messy. The swell is too small and inconsistent to get excited about, and with the crowds “often” at Domes, you might find a few other desperate souls out there.
After the 29th, it basically dries up again completely. The swell direction never really matches the optimum NNW that Domes loves, and the periods are short (under 8 seconds) meaning no real grunt. This is a long, quiet run. It’s the kind of stretch where the local kite crew might be the only ones getting any action.
Rusty.

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.
