The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with ya, it's Rusty here, and this stretch at Domes (Rincon) is about as flat as it gets. We're in for a long, quiet run with no real surf on the horizon for the next two weeks. There's just no push in the water.
We kick off on Wednesday, July 29th, with next to nothing. The swell is a tiny 0.4m from the NE with a short 6-second period, and the wave energy is a weak 17. It's glassy in the morning, but there's no wave to ride. This same story—tiny swell, weak energy—just repeats day after day. We've got a solid stretch from Wednesday through the weekend and into the start of August where the swell barely hits 0.7m and the energy stays under 50. It's a real downer. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Thursday the 30th afternoon sees a slight bump to 1.1m from the NE, with a 7-second period and the energy finally climbing to a moderate 132. It's surfable, but conditions are "very ordinary." Still, it's the best we get in the first week. The wind is cross-offshore from the NE, keeping it clean, but the swell is just too small and weak.
Then we hit another gap of several days with absolutely nothing worth paddling for. The swell drops back to knee-high at best, with energy readings in the teens and single digits. By Monday, August 10th, there's a little spike to 1.3m from the NE with a 6-second period and energy hitting 121. But the wind is a cross-shore from the NNE at 10 km/h, putting a bump on it. At that size with a short period, it's going to be a messy close-out shorebreak. Not a standout.
For the rest of the second week, from the 11th through the 13th, it's back to tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. No proper groundswell or clean window to work with.
Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you'd hope. When the waves are this small and the energy this weak, it's tough to get a ride. The only move is to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't hold your breath.
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.
