Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty lean stretch ahead. The first real glimmer of anything worthwhile doesn't show up until July 7th, Tuesday morning, at Morro Beach. Even then, the surf is only around 3ft from the SSW, with a long 18-second period that'll give it some push. The combined energy is there, sitting at 726 (moderate energy), but conditions are described as marginal, and the wind is a light breeze from the SW – not ideal but not terrible either. A long-period swell like this is best when it wraps into a reef or point, so keep that in mind.
After that, it's a long stretch of poor conditions with cross-onshore winds and choppy water, dropping off to tiny 1.0ft to 1ft swells by the middle of the second week. You've got over a week of pretty much nothing good to report. There's a slight flicker of hope on Sunday, July 12th, with a light SW wind coming from the optimum direction, but the swell is only 3ft and the ratings are low.
We finally see a bit of a pulse again on Sunday, July 19th, with the swell picking up to 3ft from the S, period at 13 seconds, and that combined energy jumps to 734 – moderate wave energy. The wind is light and WSW, but still cross-on. Monday, July 20th, sees similar conditions with 4ft from the S. It's still marginal, and the winds are not clean. But for this forecast period, that pair of days is the best we've got. For a reef break like Morro Beach, a bit of SSW to S swell with lighter winds is about as good as it's likely to get, but don't expect any standouts here. The crowds are often around, so be ready to share the takeoff zone.
The water temps are about average for the time of year here.
So, to be straight with you: this is mostly a waiting game. Winds are messy, the swell is inconsistent, and the quality is poor for days on end. The best you can hope for is a couple of marginal sessions in the second week. It's not like this area stays flat forever, but this run looks pretty bleak.
Rusty.

Information about the Morro Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Morro Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Morro Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Morro Beach 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 (Morro Beach) 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 Morro Beach 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.
