The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Morro Negrito.
It’s not exactly pumping right now, but there is some small, clean swell sneaking through. The first few days are tiny – think ankle to knee-high. The water is sitting at a very warm 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The real standout of the whole run is shaping up for Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th. That’s where we get the best combination of conditions.
For the early part of the week (Monday 10th to Thursday 13th), the mornings are mostly glassy, but the swell is weak at 1ft to 2ft. The combined energy is between 79 and 176, which is weak to moderate. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The afternoons get messy with onshore breezes or risk of tstorms, so you’ll want to be out early.
Things start looking up on Friday the 14th. The morning is glassy with a light SE breeze, and we get a clean 2ft SSW groundswell. The period bumps up to 19 seconds, which is a long period, giving the waves shape and push. The combined energy hits 246 – that’s a moderate energy reading, so there’s some proper grunt behind it. This is a reef and point break, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely. This is the best morning on offer.
Saturday the 15th keeps the run going. Morning glass again, with a 2ft SW swell. The energy is up at 303, and with the 16-second period, the waves will have plenty of form. Both Friday and Saturday mornings look sweet.
After Saturday, the swell backs off again, and we hit a dry spell. From Sunday the 16th through to the end of the 16-day window, the size drops. There’s a few mornings with glassy conditions from the 19th onwards, but the swell is back under 2ft. The combined energy rarely breaks 100. The best bet in those later days is Wednesday the 19th morning, with 2ft SSW swell and glassy wind, but it’s a one-off. Most of the second week is very small and not worth getting excited about.
To sum it up: the clear standout is Friday 14th and Saturday 15th. Early mornings, glassy, clean 2–2ft SSW groundswell. Heads up – this break is for advanced surfers, and crowds are possible as it’s a known spot.
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.
