The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. It’s been a flat spell and honestly, it’s gonna stretch out a while longer. We’re looking at a pretty quiet 16-day window out at Domes (Rincon), a consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell and a solid beginner-friendly spot. Right now, water temps are sitting about average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises there.
From now through most of next week, it’s a real struggle. The combined wave energy is sitting weak, mostly in the single digits and tens, with nothing going. We’re talking tiny dribbles of swell—0.3 ft to 0.7 ft—with short period, messy wind, and every call coming back as poor surf. There’s a brief moment Tuesday afternoon the 15th with a little 2 ft bump from the NE and glassy conditions, but with only 5-second period and 18 units of energy, it’s still poor. That pattern keeps up for days. Thursday the 17th calm and glassy with a 0.7 ft NNE swell but barely any energy again. It’s a grind.
We do get a flicker of life heading into the second week. Friday the 25th morning brings a small 1 ft from the NNE, period jumping to 12 seconds, and 60 units of energy—that’s a little more interesting, and we get clean conditions with light cross-offshore breeze. It’s only a 1 out of 10 though, just surfable. Saturday the 26th morning is glassy with a 2 ft N swell at 10 seconds and 96 units; nearly reaching moderate energy. Still very ordinary.
Now, the true standout arrives on Sunday the 27th. That morning, we see 2 ft of N swell, 11-second period, and combined energy jumping to 206—moderate energy. Plus it’s glassy. This is the best on offer. It’s clean, the point should wrap nicely, and it’s a proper little pulse. Conditions hold into Monday the 28th morning, with 3 ft from the N, 11-second period, and 233 units of energy under glassy skies. Tuesday the 29th also holds with 3 ft NNE, 11-second period, and 200 energy, dead calm, clean. That run from the 27th to the 29th is where you want to be. It’s still beginner-friendly and the offshore winds (light north to glassy) will keep it clean.
Bottom line: don’t waste your petrol until that Sunday the 27th. The rest is flat or poor. After that, it fades again. That mid-week window is the one, but it’s a long haul to get there.
Rusty.

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.
