The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down the coming weeks at Morro Negrito. It starts off pretty slow on the 27th and 28th with tiny 0.2m to 0.4m (0.6ft to 1ft) swells that look ordinary. But the mornings are glassy calm, so at least it's pretty.
By Saturday the 29th, we see some life. A 0.7m (2ft) SW groundswell with a long 16-second period rolls in, and with the early morning window glassy calm, that’s the call. Moderate energy around 300. It's a proper reef and point wave, so that long-period SW swell will set up beautifully. Water temp is normal for this time of year. Expect a few other surfers though—crowds can show up now and then. For early, it's your best bet.
Sunday the 30th morning repeats the trick: 0.7m (2ft) SW groundswell, glass. After that, the swell drops to 0.4-0.6m (1ft to 2ft) for a few days, and the period shortens. It’s still surfable but nothing special.
But here's the big news. Friday the 4th of September morning—0.7m (2ft) SW groundswell, 17-second period, zero wind, and wave energy jumps to 360. That's a serious runner. The best wave of the whole fortnight right there. Glassy, clean, punchy.
The mornings of the 9th and 10th of September are the other standouts. We've got 0.7m to 0.9m (2ft to 3ft) SW groundswells with 17-second periods and glassy conditions, and the energy hits 438 on the 10th. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, so expect clean lines and longer lulls. Perfect for a point break like this.
Afternoon thunderstorms and onshore breezes are a daily bummer, but the morning windows are golden. Circle Friday the 4th, and the 9th and 10th mornings. Those are the ones.
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.
