The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's going on at Morro Negrito for the next couple of weeks.

First thing to say – don't hold your breath for good surf right now. The first week and a bit is looking pretty flat and weak. We've got a slow start with tiny, ordinary surf before things finally pick up steam.

The first real window doesn't creep in until Saturday the 22nd. It's tiny, about 1ft of that long-period SW groundswell, with a period of 16 seconds. Water's warm at 87°, way above normal for this time of year. It'll be glassy, so it's clean, but honestly, it's barely breaking.

Through Sunday the 23rd to Tuesday the 25th, the story doesn't change much: 1ft SW swell, mostly glassy in the mornings, but afternoons get trashed by thunderstorms and light onshore wind. Wave energy is weak to moderate. You could get a ride, but it's nothing to write home about.

Thursday the 27th shows a slight bump in size – 2ft – but the period is a poor 6 seconds. Combined with a cross-offshore wind, you're looking at bumpy, weak surf. A hard pass.

Then things finally wake up on Friday the 28th. The morning shows 1ft of SW groundswell, but the energy jumps to 229 (moderate) and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." The wind is glassy from the west – proper offshore for this reef and point setup. That skinny 19-second period is going to bring some real power. This is the best bet in the first week. The afternoon holds similar promise at 201.

Saturday the 29th is another standout. Morning glass, 2ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, and the combined energy rips up to 300 (strong). Light winds, clean lines. Get in the water early. The afternoon gets a little bumpy but the morning window is top shelf.

Sunday the 30th keeps the quality run going with 3ft of SSW swell in the morning, glassy, and an energy reading of 299. The consistent good surf continues right into Monday the 31st, though the energy starts to drop.

Into the second week, the pattern holds. Wednesday September 2nd and Thursday September 3rd offer more of the same – glassy mornings, 1ft to 2ft of SW swell. By Friday September 4th the energy is back up to 232, with good conditions expected. Then Saturday September 5th finishes the forecast on a high: 2ft of SW swell, blue skies, glassy calm, and a solid 285 combined energy reading. That's a cherry on top.

The absolute best days to score are the mornings of Friday the 28th, Saturday the 29th, and that final Saturday September 5th. The swell is right out of the southwest, which is pure gold for Morro Negrito. Just remember, crowds can pop up here sometimes, so if the stars align, get out there early.

Keep your head down and your arms loose,
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.
