The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here with the lowdown. For the next couple of weeks, Morro Negrito is looking like a small-wave paradise, but you gotta pick your windows. This is a classic reef and point break that loves a good SW groundswell. The water is a warm 87°F, which is a few degrees warmer than average for this time of year—feels like a hot tub out there.
The overall pattern is small, with lots of glassy mornings and stormy afternoons. The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 8th. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and with dead calm, glassy wind, it’s going to be silky smooth. The combined energy is moderate, and that long period will wrap around the point beautifully. This is the best of the early run.
But the one to really get excited about, the big one on the calendar, is Saturday morning, August 15th. Again, glassy conditions with a 2ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is solid, and the winds are flat calm. The early morning will be magic, with the offshore NE wind keeping it clean. Just remember, the afternoons can get stormy, so get your session in before the wind shifts.
There are a few other mornings with similar small, clean waves—like Monday morning, August 3rd, and Tuesday morning, August 4th—but the swell is a little smaller. Still, for a fun, easy paddle, they’ll be fine.
Crowds can show up here, so don’t be surprised if you’ve got company, especially on those standout Saturday mornings. The waves are small, under 3ft, so it’s prime longboard territory and good for all skill levels. The long-period swell means the point will offer the best waves, with longer waits between sets. Just watch for those afternoon storms that can mess things up.
Rusty out.

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.
