Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table.

Right from the start, this is a run of small but clean morning glass for Morro Negrito. The pattern is all about early sessions with tiny, long-period SW groundswell and near-perfect conditions, before the afternoon sea breeze ruins it. It’s not big, but it’s pretty. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

The standout is Sunday the 6th morning. Glassy conditions, zero wind, and a clean 2ft of SW groundswell with a 15-second period – that’s proper energy for the size, with combined energy at 228 (moderate). The reef and point setup at Morro Negrito is ideal for this kind of long-period groundswell, so expect well-shaped, lined-up waves with nice gaps between sets. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. It’s an advanced break, so this isn’t one for learners.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th mornings follow a similar story – glassy, small swell from the SSW, around 2ft to 1ft, with periods dropping slightly but still decent. The energy is moderate (209 to 218). Not as punchy as Sunday but still clean.

Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th mornings keep the run going: 2ft to 2ft, glassy, clear skies. The Thursday morning actually has a touch more energy in the water at 296 (moderate-high end) thanks to an 18-second period. Worth a look.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th mornings are still glassy and surfable, but the swell is easing. Saturday’s energy drops to 125, which is getting weak. Still, if you’re jonesing for a paddle, the morning will be clean.

From Sunday the 13th onward, things really thin out. The swell energy dips into the double digits (59 to 96) for a few days, and while the mornings are glassy, the waves are tiny – 1ft at best. The 21-second period on Monday the 14th morning sounds exciting but with only 0.7ft of swell, it’ll be a long wait between sets for barely a ripple. Not worth the drive.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th mornings see a slight bump back to 2ft–2ft with moderate energy (191 and 194), and glassy conditions. Surfable, but ordinary. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th mornings are similar but fading again.

The end of the run, Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, has very poor conditions – tiny swell and cross-onshore winds. The morning of the 20th might have a glassy window with 1ft and solid energy (196) from a 19-second SSW groundswell, but it’s a gamble that far out.

Bottom line: Sunday the 6th morning is your best bet. Glassy, clean, and the swell has some real push for a reef point. After that, it’s early mornings only, and the quality fades quickly into the second week. If you’re keen on a long-range punt, keep an eye on the 20th morning, but don’t hold your breath.
