The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at Morro Negrito over the next sixteen days. This reef and point loves a good SW swell, and while we’ve got a couple of sweet windows, a lot of this stretch is quiet.
Things kick off on Wednesday, July 29th, with a proper morning. The water is 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW groundswell running with a 16-second period, and the combined swell energy sits at 372 (moderate), so there’s some real grunt. Wind is glassy out of the east at just 3 mph. For an advanced crew on a reef and point, that’s gold. Swell direction is bang on the optimum from the SW. This is the best session in the whole outlook.
Wednesday afternoon goes cross-on from the WSW at 6 mph and turns messy — forget it.
Thursday the 30th morning is glassy again with a 2ft SW swell, 14-second period, energy at 215. Still clean but smaller. Thursday afternoon gets onshore with t-storms — no good.
Friday the 31st through Monday the 3rd of August, we’re in a lull. Swells drop below 2ft, energy readings are weak in the 100s and below. Mornings are glassy but the waves are very ordinary. Knee-high dribble at best.
Tuesday the 4th through Thursday the 6th of August are flat to tiny. Swell heights around 1ft, periods as short as 6 seconds, energy dropping as low as 31 — weak. Not worth the paddle.
Now a pulse in the second week. Friday the 7th of August morning shows 1ft of SSW swell with an 18-second period, energy climbing to 198. Still small but building.
Saturday the 8th of August morning shapes up as another standout. We’ve got 3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, energy back to 346 (moderate). Glassy out of the SSW at 0 mph. That means clean lines. Swell direction is a bit off the SW optimum, but with no wind and that long period, it’ll be fun. Not quite as good as that first Wednesday, but worth a look.
The rest of the second week fades — Sunday the 9th through Thursday the 13th of August, we’re back to 1ft to 2ft swells, energy in the low 100s to 200s, with afternoons blown out by onshore winds.
The standout is Wednesday morning, July 29th: clean 3ft groundswell, glassy, warm water. Saturday August 8th morning is a solid backup. Pick your mornings, skip the afternoons.
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.
