The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. It's been a while since we've seen any real push out at Morro Negrito, and the next couple of weeks are looking pretty damn small. We've got a lot of tiny surf, but a couple of mornings will be worth the paddle for sure.

This Friday afternoon, August 14th, is a washout. Risk of thunderstorms and the swell is a weak 0.6m at a long 18 seconds. The energy is minimal, sitting at 275, so it's just not doing anything. The water's a warm 31°, which is a bit toastier than usual for this time of year, so that's a plus if you're in.

The first real highlight is Saturday morning, August 15th. It's gonna be glassy, no wind at all, with that small southwest groundswell showing 0.7m at 16 seconds. The energy is a bit better at 302, and this spot is consistent, so you'll get clean, fun little waves. This is as good as it gets for the coming week. The Saturday afternoon sea breeze will put a bit of chop on it, so get out early.

Sunday morning, August 16th, is similar. Glassy again, with 0.6m of SW swell, but the energy drops to 205. A clean 0.6m on a reef and point set-up is still fun on a longboard. Afternoons are generally blown out from the onshores with that storm risk.

Then we hit a real flat spell. From Monday the 17th right through to the end of next week, it's mostly dribble. The swell drops to 0.4m and 0.5m, and the energy readings are mostly in the weak category, below 100 for days. There are still some glassy mornings, which is nice, but you'll be scratching for anything. The periods are fine, between 11 and 16 seconds, but there's just no power behind it. This stretch is more about enjoying the line-up than catching waves.

Middle of the second week, around Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, is the same story. A few clean mornings with 0.5m and 0.6m waves, but the energy is just weak. Not really worth getting too excited about.

Now, here's the one to watch. Look ahead to Saturday, August 29th. That morning is shaping up to be the standout of the whole 16-day window. We're looking at a clean 0.7m of SW swell with a 16-second period, and the energy jumps back up to 282. It's forecast to be glassy with a slight offshore breeze. This is the one to circle on the calendar. But, it's over a week away, so treat it as promising, not a guarantee. The afternoon onshore will kick in, but that morning session looks like the pick of the entire run.

So to sum it up: there's two clear mornings worth your time—Saturday the 15th and Saturday the 29th. The rest of the window is pretty average, with lots of small, clean, but weak days. This isn't a period for anything exciting, but if you've got a longboard and low expectations, you'll find a few fun ones.

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.
