The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch overall. We’re not looking at any big, powerful swells. The waves will be small, but there are some clean windows to get a few fun ones, especially if you’re on an advanced craft. The best bet is to hit the early mornings when the wind is glassy.
We start off Saturday morning, the 5th of September. The water temperature is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The standout session is Saturday morning at Morro Negrito. It’s a reef and point setup, exposed to the SW, and we’ve got a 3ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period. That long period means proper groundswell, and combined with zero wind and glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (474). This is the pick of the entire outlook. It’s an advanced spot, so not one for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, it’ll be worth the paddle.
Sunday the 6th has a similar 3ft SW swell, period dropping to 15 seconds, and glassy conditions in the morning. Clean again, but not quite the same energy. Monday the 7th sees the swell drop to 2ft, still clean in the morning but small. Tuesday the 8th is tiny at 1ft, but with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions, it’ll be beautiful if you just want to sit out there. That’s really the theme through the first week: small, clean, and quiet.
Now, a heads up – from around the 12th of September onward, the swell really backs off. The combined energy drops into double digits (123 and below) and the swell heights hover around 1ft to 2ft. The morning of Sunday the 13th is glassy with a 1ft, 13-second period swell, but it’s very ordinary. There’s a gap of several days here where there’s not much to recommend. The mornings of the 14th, 15th, and 16th are all very small and glassy, but it’s survival mode stuff.
Towards the end of the outlook, around the 18th and 19th of September, the swell stays tiny. Friday morning the 18th has a 0.7ft, 21-second period swell – that’s a very long period but not enough height to get excited about. The energy is weak (89).
All in all, if you’re keen, get out there Saturday morning the 5th for the cleanest, longest period waves. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next pulse.
Stay frothy.
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.
