The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of small, clean, long-period groundswell coming in, but it’s not the kind of energy that’s gonna knock your socks off. The first good window kicks off Sunday afternoon, July 26th, but the real gems are the mornings. The standout here is Morro Negrito (reef and point). This place is a consistent, advanced-level wave that fires best with a SW swell. The water is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, sitting at 86°F, with a positive anomaly of 4°F, so that’s a nice little bonus for your session.

The peak of the whole run lands on Monday, July 27th, early morning. You’re looking at a clean 2 ft swell from the SSW, with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is dead calm, glassy as hell. The combined energy is moderate (428). That’s the best on offer: point break perfection, long lines, and no wind. The offshore direction is NE, so these conditions are smooth. Tuesday morning, July 28th, is a close second: 3 ft from the SW, period of 18 seconds, glassy conditions again, with a combined energy of 462 (moderate). Wednesday morning, July 29th, is also good with similar 3 ft SW swell, glassy, and 16 second period.

The afternoons in this first week are mostly a write-off. They’re either onshore or have questionable conditions from thunderstorms, so don’t bother. There’s a gap after the first week where the surf drops off. From around Saturday, August 1st, through to Thursday, August 6th, the swell drops to 2 ft or less. The energy dips into double digits (weak). It’s small, ordinary, and not worth paddling out for. That’s a solid 5 to 6 day lull.

Then, the second week starts to show some promise again. Friday, August 7th, morning looks like a return to form: 2 ft from the SSW, 18 second period, glassy, with combined energy of 289 (weak-to-moderate). Saturday, August 8th, morning is similar: 2 ft, 16 second period, glassy, 234 energy. These are promising but less certain as they’re further out. The long period means the point will handle it beautifully, but the beach breaks might be a bit straight.

Overall, the best call is Monday, July 27th, morning at Morro Negrito. Clean, glassy, long-period groundswell. If you miss that, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are nearly as good. After that, wait for the second week. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might not have it all to yourself, but it’ll be worth it.

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.
