The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First off, we're looking at a pretty quiet picture for the most part at Morro Negrito. This is a reef and point setup that takes a south-west swell, and it's an advanced spot for a reason. The water temperature is sitting at 86°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.

Right now, on Friday the 31st, we've got a tiny 2ft SSW swell rolling in, but it's got a nice 13-second period on it. The morning is glassy and calm, which is a major positive. The combined energy is weak at 127, so it's not going to be anything to write home about, but for a little morning session, you could get a few clean lines. The afternoon kicks up a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on wind, so get out early.

Saturday the 1st of August is much the same story – a small 2ft glassy morning, but the wind goes bad in the afternoon. Sunday the 2nd is clean in the morning with a cross-off breeze, but we're still only looking at 1ft. The pattern of small, clean mornings and messy afternoons basically holds through the first week. Monday the 3rd, Tuesday the 4th, and Wednesday the 5th all offer glassy starts but swell is tiny, down to 1ft on Wednesday, with energy dropping to 18. It's a tough run for any real waves.

Now, we do get a bit of a pulse. The morning of Friday the 7th of August shows a little more life with a 2ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and a jump in energy to 174 – still moderate, but better. The real standout comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning is looking sweet: 2ft of SSW swell, a 16-second period, and glassy calm winds. The combined energy is up to 263, which is a solid moderate push. This is the best call of the whole forecast. The waves should have some shape and power for the reef and point, and the crowd profile says "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others out, but it’s worth it.

After that, we drift back into small stuff. Sunday the 9th through to the end of the second week sees a lot of morning glass, but the swell stays stubbornly between 1ft and 2ft. The period gets long again, especially on Tuesday the 11th of August morning with a 19-second SSW swell, but the energy is moderate at 236. That long period on a point break like this could be really fun, even if it's small. The morning of Saturday the 15th of August is another clean, glassy start with a 2ft SW swell and a 17-second period, which is a nice way to finish the outlook.

Bottom line: if you want the best waves, aim for the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. That's the clear winner. Everything else is a series of small, clean windows that are more about enjoying the water than scoring epic rides. There are no big gaps with no surf, but it's a long stretch of very ordinary conditions.

Rusty.

Information about the Morro Negrito Surf forecast

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