The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's coming our way.
Well, looks like we're in for a pretty flat spell for a while. The forecast starts with a long stretch of days where there's just nothing worth getting excited about. The first recommendation doesn't pop up until Friday the 18th, so you're looking at a solid week of small, weak surf.
The first real chance to wet a line will be at Domes (Rincon) on Friday the 18th of September. We're talking small swell, about 1ft from the NNW. The energy is low (67), but the wind is light offshore and that cleans things up. It's not going to be a world-beater, but it'll be surfable. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit or just boardshorts will do.
The best bet on the whole board looks like it could be Domes (Rincon) on Saturday the 26th of September. Now, this is a long way out, so don't book a flight just yet, but the models are hinting at something. We're looking at a 3ft swell from the north, with a period around 10 seconds. The combined energy climbs up to a moderate 151, and with a light ENE breeze keeping it clean, it could actually be a bit of fun. It's a consistent point break that's exposed to the swell, so if it comes together, it'll be the standout of the window. Just be aware, crowds are often a problem there.
Outside of that, the rest of the period is dominated by tiny surf and onshore or cross-shore winds that will chop it up. There are a few glassy mornings with almost no swell, but that's more for a paddle than a surf.
Rusty.

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.
