The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty quiet start. The surf really only gets going after a long stretch of nothing much. The first real standout doesn't pop up until the 29th of August, so there's a gap of about a week of very marginal conditions beforehand. The water's sitting at a warm 87° at Morro Negrito, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – you'll be surfing in boardies for sure.
The best of the bunch by a long shot is the morning of Friday the 4th of September. That's when we see a solid pulse of energy. The combined swell energy hits a strong 557, with a clean 3ft SSW swell and a good 18-second period. That's proper groundswell, and with a light cross-off breeze from the ESE, Morro Negrito (a reef and point setup) should be absolutely pumping. The long period means the sets will be well-spaced and powerful, perfect for the point. This is easily the best session on offer, no question.
Before that, the mornings of Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August are worth a look. You'll get a glassy 3ft SSW swell on Saturday morning, with a combined energy of 363, and a similar 3ft SSW swell on Sunday morning with 311 energy. The wind is glassy, so the conditions will be clean. It's not huge, but it'll be surfable and fun. The mornings of the 31st of August and the 1st of September also offer glassy conditions with a consistent 2ft SW swell, though the energy is a bit lower.
The rest of the period is pretty ordinary. Most afternoons see a risk of thunderstorms or bad wind, and the mornings that aren't glassy are often too small or have onshore winds. The 4th of September morning is the clear winner, so mark that in your calendar. It's a long way out, but it looks promising.
Rusty.

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.
