Dosim Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty much a washout for any decent surf. We're looking at a long, dry spell of nearly two weeks before we see anything that might be worth a paddle. The whole window is dominated by tiny, weak swell. The energy is just pathetic, barely getting into double digits, and for most of the time it's sitting below 50, which is a dead giveaway.

The water here at Dosim Beach is running at a very warm 86°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a bit of a curiosity, but it won't help the waves.

The only faint glimmer of something comes right at the very end of the outlook. On Saturday, September 19th, the morning swell ticks up to a tiny 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds. That's still short-period, gutless stuff. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNW, which is far from ideal, but it's the only time in the entire run where the swell height isn't dropping. The energy is still a weak 33. It's a small, messy, and inconsistent option for a beginner to get wet on a foamie, but there's nothing else to consider.

Before that, Tuesday morning, September 8th, offers a glassy calm, but the swell is a paltry 2ft with a 6-second period and energy of 36. It's clean, but there's no push to it. Similarly, Saturday morning, September 12th, goes glassy, but the swell is even smaller at 2ft. The problem is the same: no power, no shape.

From the middle of the second week, it just flat-lines. You'll see a few glassy mornings around September 13th and 14th, but the swell is under 2ft and the period is dropping to 4 or 5 seconds. That's not surf; that's a lake.

So, here's the deal. If you're desperate, that Saturday, September 19th morning is the only call. But don't expect much. For a beach break like Dosim, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows close up. Forecasts can change, but right now, we're looking at a long wait for anything with a pulse.

Rusty.
