The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Morro Negrito over the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve got a bit of a quiet start. The first worthwhile surf pops up around Friday, July 31, but it’s a small one. The swell is just 2 feet from the SSW with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined wave energy is weak at 122. The water is running about 86°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a treat to be in the water. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so the conditions are a bit average. Not a standout, but it’s a start.
The real gem in this outlook is Saturday morning, August 8, which is the best on offer. We’ve got 2 feet of swell from the SSW, but the period has stretched to 16 seconds, giving it some real groundswell feel. The combined energy is moderate at 210. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which means the surface will be pristine. The swell direction from the SSW is right in the wheelhouse for this exposed reef and point setup. The break is consistent, and it’s an advanced spot, so the crowd factor is noted as “sometimes” – you might have company, but it won’t be a circus. This is a clean, solid morning session.
Another morning to circle is Friday, August 7. The swell is 1 feet from the SW, but the period is a very long 18 seconds, giving it proper energy. The combined energy is 152, and it’s glassy conditions. This is a classic morning for a point break, as the long period tends to stand up and reel. It’s not the biggest, but the quality will be there.
As we roll into the second week, things get a bit more promising but less certain. Saturday morning, August 15, shows 2 feet from the SW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is 215. The wind is glassy again. This is another good-looking morning, but it’s further out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, the first week is a bit flat, with a few small, clean windows. The standout is definitely Saturday, August 8, with that glassy groundswell. For the rest, it’s a waiting game, but the forecasts can change, and there’s hope for the second week.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
