The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The first week or so is looking real flat and messy, with only tiny scraps of swell and mostly poor conditions. From the 26th of August right through to the 7th of September, we’re talking about a long gap of nothing really worth gettin’ wet for. The energy is just a little puff of windswell, with combined swell energy figures barely climbing into double digits for most of that time. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one that might get your heart beatin’ a little faster, is the Tuesday the 8th of September. Domes (Rincon) is a point break that’s consistent and likes a good swell from the NNW. That Tuesday morning, we’ll see a clean 2ft swell from the north with a period of 10 seconds, and a nice offshore breeze from the SSE. The energy picks up to a moderate 71 (moderate wave energy). The afternoon cleans up even more with a gentle offshore from the ESE and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds, pushing the combined energy to 178 (moderate wave energy). That’s your best shot. The wind will be clean, and the waves will be surfable. It’s still small, but it’s the best we’ve got.
The Wednesday the 9th morning at Domes has a glassy 2ft from the north with 8-second period and 75 energy (moderate wave energy), but it’s a short-lived window before the wind worsens.
So, if you’re jonesin’ for a paddle, mark your calendar for the 8th of September. Everything else is a no-go. Keep your eyes on the horizon, and remember, forecasts can change. Stay frothy.

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.
