The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again.
First up, we gotta look at Domes. Now, I won't lie to ya, this forecast window is a slow burner. For the next week, don't even bother paddling out. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing. From now through the 9th of September, the surf is basically flat, with tiny dribbles of swell and mostly poor conditions. You'll be sitting on your board for no reason. It's a proper drought.
Then, around the 10th of September, we finally see a little pulse of life. The Thursday morning brings a clean, glassy surface with a light offshore breeze from the NW. Swell ticks up to 2 ft from the N, with a 10-second period. It’s still weak, with combined wave energy of just 120, so you won't be getting barrelled, but the conditions are pristine and clean. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 86°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
After that, the surf stays pretty lackluster right through to the 17th. We get more dribbles and inconsistent puffs. The real standout, if you can call it that, is actually looking at Thursday, the 18th of September. Both morning and afternoon at Domes are showing glassy conditions. The swell is still small, around 1 ft from the NNE, but the period is a solid 13 seconds, giving it a bit more push than the rest. The energy readings are moderate, sitting at 110 for the morning and 139 for the afternoon. It’s a long-range call, so temper your expectations, but if you’re desperate for a clean, small-wave session with a long period groundswell, that's your best bet. For a mellow longboard or a fun log, it’ll be clean as a whistle.
Just a heads up, Domes is a consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, which is perfect for these smaller swells, but be ready for crowds because they are often here. Since it’s a point break, that long-period groundswell from the NNE should wrap in nicely.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
