The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the surf outlook for your local patch.
We're looking at a pretty drawn-out, low-energy run here. The first week is all about tiny, ordinary waves with a few windows of glassy conditions. The highlight, and really the only standout worth paddling out for, arrives on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. That morning, Morro Negrito is the pick with a clean 2 ft SSW swell, a period of 16 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (205), so there's a bit more grunt in the water. It's a reef and point set-up, so that longer-period SSW groundswell will wrap in nicely, giving you some proper shape. Crowds can show up here sometimes, but with the small size, it'll be a fun session for the crew who know the spot.
The rest of the first week is a flat spell. The mornings are generally glassy, but the swell is tiny, mostly 1 ft with weak energy (102-108). The afternoons get messy with onshore breezes and frequent storm risks. The pattern is pretty consistent: glassy mornings, blown-out afternoons. The first few days of August are just small and ordinary.
The run from the 9th of August onward is more of the same. The swell remains tiny, rarely reaching 2 ft, and the energy stays weak to moderate. The morning of Saturday the 15th of August offers a clean 2 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but it's still a very ordinary wave. The last week is a lot of small, glassy mornings followed by onshore afternoons. Nothing really builds to get excited about, but if you're keen for a paddle, the cleanest windows are in the early mornings.
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.
