Dominacalito and The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Dominacalito and The Point here at Dominacalito. This is a solid beach and point setup that’s pretty exposed to the south, so when the swell lines up, it can really turn it on for the advanced crew.

Right off the bat, the water’s sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, I’ve gotta be honest. The swell’s hanging around 4ft on Tuesday morning with a super long 18-second period from the SW, but the conditions are just messy and the tides are looking questionable. The combined energy is moderate at 858. That same story runs through Wednesday and most of Thursday, with the energy dropping away and a risk of thunderstorms or cross-onshore winds spoiling the party. It’s not until Thursday morning the 9th of July that we see a real glimmer. That morning, the swell drops to 3ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, energy at 318, but the wind goes glass. It’s small, but it’s clean. Friday the 10th of July morning is similar – 3ft, still from the SW, period 15 seconds, 340 energy, and glassy again. Good for a grovel, but don’t expect much push.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 11th of July morning, the swell bumps up to 3ft, that’s a 16-second SW groundswell with combined wave energy hitting 447. The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be. That’s a proper standout for the cleaner, smaller waves. The point might offer something a bit more lined up with that long period, but a beach break might be a bit straight for the longer period stuff. Sunday the 12th of July morning is another cracker – same 3ft, 14-second period, 345 energy, and flat calm. Again, pure glass, just a really nice morning session if you’ve got a log or a fish.

The week after that is a bit of a mixed bag. You’ve got mornings with a glassy surface on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th, and Wednesday 15th, all showing 2ft to 3ft, but the energy is dropping (298, 352, 282). It’s rideable, but nothing to get the heart racing. Afternoons are frequently ruined by a cross-on breeze or storm risk.

Now, look ahead to the second week. The real highlight sits on Monday the 20th of July. The morning shows a 3ft SW swell, but here’s the kicker – the period is back up at 18-seconds and the combined energy jumps up to 584. The wind is glassy from the south. That’s the most energy we see in the whole run. Tuesday the 21st of July morning is also promising, with 3ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, energy 545, and glassy conditions again. These are the two standout sessions, but they’re a week and a half out, so take the promise with a pinch of salt for now. The later afternoons look marginal or onshore, so hit it early. Crowds are a possibility here, especially when it’s clean, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

Overall, there’s a quiet start, a couple of glorious glassy mornings in the first weekend, and then a proper dose of energy and clean conditions around Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July. That’s the one to circle.
