The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s a quiet run ahead for this stretch of coast. The swell is hanging around small, and the real standout windows are few and far between. The best bet is to aim for the cleanest, glassiest mornings, because the afternoons keep getting chopped up or blown onshore. There’s a couple of proper sweet spots to pencil in though.

Kicking off Friday 7th August morning, the swell’s a tiny 2ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period, and the water’s a very warm 87° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. Combined energy is moderate (199). The wind is glassy from the NE, making for clean little waves. It’s surfable, but not a stand-out.

The weekend – Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th – mornings stay similar: 2ft, SSW groundswell. Saturday’s swell has a long 16-second period, which brings decent shape but can be straight at a beach setup. The wind is glassy early on Saturday, but the afternoon brings a risk of t-storms and cross-onshore winds. Sunday morning picks up a clean cross-off breeze from the ENE. Still, very ordinary.

Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th are even smaller, dropping to 1ft. The energy is weak (combined energy 135 and 145). Glassy conditions on both mornings, but the swell is barely there.

The first real standout comes on Friday 14th August morning. The swell lifts to 2ft from the SSW, but the period is a very long 19 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. Combined energy hits 252 (moderate). The wind is glassy, the sky is clear. For a reef and point break like Morro Negrito, that long period will wrap in beautifully, offering clean, lined-up waves. The water’s still warm. This is the one to circle.

Then Saturday 15th August morning is another beauty. The swell is 2ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the wind is glassy from the NNE. Combined energy is strong at 301. The afternoon also stays glassy, which is rare. Both sessions that day are looking clean with consistent, punchy waves for the advanced crew.

After that, the swell hangs around 2ft to 2ft through the rest of the week, but the wind tends to swing onshore or cross-on in the afternoons. The mornings from the 16th to the 19th are glassy but small and ordinary.

The last true standout is Thursday 20th August morning. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period, and combined energy is a strong 317. The wind is calm – dead glass – and the sky is clear. That’s the biggest swell of the outlook and with offshore conditions, it’s going to be clean and fun. It’s the pick of the second week.

The afternoons through the 20th to 22nd get messy with cross-onshore winds or moderate rain. Still, if you’re keen, the mornings are always worth a paddle.

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.
