The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness ahead, so don't get your hopes up for anything decent for a while. The ocean is going to be dead.

The first week and a bit is a total washout. We're talking swell under 2 ft, just tiny little bumps, and the wind is making a mess of things in the afternoons with those thunderstorm risks and cross-shore breezes. The wave energy is weak, with combined energy readings stuck below 150. It's just not worth even looking at. You'd get more action in a swimming pool.

There are a couple of mornings, like the 19th, 20th, and 21st, that are glassy, but the swell is too small to matter. 2 ft of weak, short-period swell isn't going to get anyone out of bed. It's surfable, maybe, but you'd be fighting for crumbs.

The only real hope on the horizon is the very end of the forecast period. We're talking about the 29th and 30th of August. That's when the charts finally show a pulse. The swell is forecast to push up to 3 ft, with a long period of 16-18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. You can see it in the energy, jumping up into the 300s and 400s. The ocean is finally waking up.

For that window, my pick is Morro Negrito on the morning of the 29th. It's a reef and point, so it'll hold that long-period swell nicely. The wind is forecast to be dead calm, leaving it glassy, and there’s that solid 3 ft SW swell hitting the bank. This is the standout – it won't be huge, but it'll be clean and lined-up for those who can handle it. Crowds are possible, so you might want to get in early.

The morning of the 30th looks similar, with a touch more size. Just remember, this is a long way off, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s something to dream about. That’s the one bright spot in an otherwise empty outlook. It’s gonna be a long wait, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep the board in the bag until then.

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.
