Dominacalito and The Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check out what Dominacalito and The Point are cooking up for the next couple of weeks.

First thing, the water is nice and warm at 86°, running a touch warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a good start. But the first week is a tease. We’ve got tiny swell, mostly 1ft to 2ft, coming from the southwest with a super long period. That means clean lines but low energy. Monday the 14th is a write-off with onshore wind and thunderstorms. We start rolling Tuesday morning the 15th.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are the early highlights. Tuesday morning is glassy, with 1ft of southwest swell at 18 seconds. It’s small, but that glass makes it perfect for a longboard. The Point will be picking up those long-period lines just right. Tuesday afternoon stays glassy with a little more size at 2ft. Wednesday morning is more of the same – glassy, 2ft. Wednesday afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so stick to the mornings. The combined energy is low, between 265 and 286.

From Thursday the 17th through Monday the 21st morning, it’s a mixed bag. We get a few glassy windows, like Saturday morning the 19th with 1ft at 19 seconds, and Sunday morning the 20th with 2ft at 19 seconds. The energy bumps up a bit Sunday (394) and Monday (393), but the waves are still tiny. Monday morning the 21st is dead calm and glassy with 2ft – a real sleeper session if you’ve got the right board. The rest of the time, winds are onshore or cross-on, and conditions are sketchy.

Now for the big one. If you can be patient, Friday the 25th of September is the standout. This is almost two weeks out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it looks like a proper swell. We get a solid 8ft southwest groundswell pumping in with 1057 units of energy. It’s glassy in the morning with a light offshore cross-off breeze in the afternoon. This is excellent, but at 8ft with a short 8-second period, it’s powerful, dumpy, and for experienced surfers only. Beginners, sit this one out. The Point might get a bit walled-up. This is the best session on offer for the crew who can handle it.

Saturday the 26th keeps the action going with 6ft to 7ft of WSW swell, glassy and calm all day. The energy is still strong (828 to 1028). It’s a bit smaller, but still solid and clean. Sunday the 27th drops to 5ft to 5ft but stays glassy. That’s more manageable for intermediate surfers.

The swell fades fast after that, dropping under 3ft by Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th, with weaker energy. The window closes Tuesday afternoon with cross-on wind.

So, the real standout is Friday the 25th for the big, heavy swell – experts only. Saturday the 26th is a close second for strong, clean waves. The early mornings from the 15th to the 16th are your best bet for small, glassy fun. There’s a long stretch of meh conditions from the 17th to the 24th, so be ready to wait.

Paddling out on that Friday will be worth the wait.
