Morro Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Morro Beach.

Honestly, mate, this is a tough stretch. We're staring down the barrel of a 16-day forecast that's mostly a flat, choppy mess. The swell energy is there, but it's all wrong – small waisted and blown out. We've got a long gap right off the bat with nothing worth paddling for. The first real glimmer of something that might be rideable doesn't show up until Wednesday the 16th, and even then it's a marginal call. It's not until the following Sunday, September 20th, that we see a little pulse that could be half-interesting.

For the whole period, there isn't a single standout day you'd set your alarm for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with a long period (14 to 20 seconds) coming from the SSW or SW. While that long period hints at groundswell potential, the wave energy is weak to moderate (between 161 and 487). That means long, fat lines that will struggle to stand up without some serious push. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping the surface bumpy.

The best of a bad bunch looks like Wednesday the 16th, morning. There's a whisper of glassy wind with the swell coming straight onshore from the SSW at 3ft, pushing a moderate energy (368). It's marked "marginal," but with that light breeze it might just be clean enough for a grovel on a longboard. After that, the morning of Saturday the 19th has a slight air, glassy offshore wind from the SSW, but the swell is only 2ft. You'd be scratching for anything.

After that, it's more of the same through to the 27th. Small, weak, and onshores. For a reef break like this, the longer period swells could make it fat, but honestly, the lack of size and consistent clean wind makes the whole setup more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.

Keep your stick on the roof and wait for a better chart.

Rusty.
