Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Morro Negrito over the next couple weeks.

The overall pattern is pretty mellow, with small, clean windows scattered through the outlook. The real standout is the next few days, with a couple of proper glassy mornings that’ll be the best you’ll see for a while. The water is sitting at 87°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit or just boardies.

The first real chance to get amongst it is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. Morro Negrito will have tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a very long 16 seconds, telling you this is proper groundswell. The wind is glass – dead calm – and the face will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (238). It’s a reef and point setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s only advanced, but if you’re good enough, this is the pick of the window. The earlybird gets the worm.

The morning of Sunday, August 9th is also worth a mention. Another glassy morning with a light 3 mph breeze from the ENE, 2ft SSW swell, but the period drops to 14 seconds. The energy is lower (140). It’s surfable, but ordinary. Not bad if you missed Saturday.

The morning of Monday, August 10th is glassy again, but the swell is only 1ft and the period is 13 seconds. Energy is weak (176). Very small, but if you’ve got a longboard and patience, it’s doable.

The next proper window to get excited about is the morning of Friday, August 14th. Another glassy morning with a 3 mph breeze from the SW, and the swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSW with a very long 19-second period. The energy is moderate (244). This one has the best quality in the whole run, with “expect good surf conditions” in the notes. The long period and point break setup will give you some nice lines, but it’s still only for the advanced crew.

The morning of Saturday, August 15th is also a solid option. Glassy calm with 2ft from the SW at 16 seconds, energy at 276. Another good one for the morning crew.

After that, the pattern holds small but glassy most mornings right through to Saturday, August 22nd, with swells hovering around 1ft to 2ft, all from the SSW or SW. The energy stays weak to moderate. The afternoons are mostly a write-off due to onshore breezes and risk of thunderstorms. If you’re a dawn patroller, you’ll get a few ankle-to-knee-high glassy sessions, but nothing to get the heart racing.

If you’re an advanced surfer, the mornings of August 8th, 14th, and 15th are your best bets. The swell is small, but the conditions will be clean, the point will handle the long period, and the crowds are only “sometimes” an issue. For beginners, the swell is under 5ft, so it’s safe, but you’ll be fighting for scraps on the small days.

No big swells on the horizon, just a long, drawn-out run of small, clean windows. Keep your eyes on the dawn patrol.

Rusty.
