Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Morro Negrito.

The overall pattern is a drawn-out, low-energy run. There’s a bit of clean, small surf to start the week, but we’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions after that. The first real session is on Sunday afternoon, but it’s a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind. We’ll skip that.

The real standout, and the only one worth getting excited about, is the Monday morning (7th September) session. The wind is glassy from the NNW, and we’ve got a 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate (156). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, which is a nice bonus. It’s small, but the glassy conditions will make it clean and fun for an advanced surfer who knows the reef and point setup. The optimum swell direction is SW, and this is coming from the SSW, so it’s close enough to work well. Crowds are *sometimes* a thing here, so you might have a few others out, but nothing too hectic.

The Monday afternoon (7th) is also a good call with the same glassy wind and a slightly better combined energy reading (250). The swell is still 2ft from the SSW. It’s another small window of clean surf before the conditions turn.

After that, it’s a long slog. From Tuesday (8th) morning, the swell drops to 1ft. The Tuesday morning session is glassy with a very long 18-second period, but the wave energy is weak (213) and the size is tiny. It’ll be clean but barely surfable. The afternoons then get hit by thunderstorms and onshore wind, and the mornings are a mix of glassy but small conditions. The Thursday morning (10th) has a glassy 2ft SW swell with a 18-second period, and the energy is up to 298, which is the highest in the period, but it’s still a very small wave. The Friday morning (11th) is similar with glassy 2ft SW swell.

From the 13th (Sunday) onwards, the wave heights drop to 1ft and below, with the combined energy falling below 100. The Sunday morning (20th September) shows a promising spike in energy (217) with a 1ft, 19-second period SSW swell and glassy wind, but it’s a week and a half out, so treat it as a promising but uncertain long-range flicker.

Overall, this is a very small, drawn-out period. The best bet is to hit the Monday (7th September) sessions for the glassy, clean conditions on the small groundswell. For beginners, this swell is below 5ft, so it’s manageable, but the advanced nature of the break and the very small size make it a tricky one. For the rest of the window, it’s a waiting game.
