The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for our little slice of paradise.
We’re looking at a pretty mellow start to the forecast period. The first solid surf window doesn't really kick in until Saturday the 29th of August. Before that, we’ve got a few small, surfable days but nothing to get excited about. The real story is a slow build into a sweet run of cleaner conditions coming up.
First up, Morro Negrito is the only spot on the menu. The early part of the week is tiny. Tuesday the 25th morning has a glassy 1ft SW swell, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms and the vibe is just “ordinary.” The combined energy is weak (106). Still, it’s glassy as a mirror, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, you could find a ripple. The water is a very warm 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4°F anomaly, so you’ll be in boardies for sure.
We get a little bump on Friday the 28th morning. The swell is still only 1ft from the SW, but the period stretches out to a long 19 seconds. The energy is building (162) and it’s glassy. That long period means the sets will be fat and slow, but it’s clean.
Now, the standout. That’s Saturday the 29th of August. The morning is where it’s at. The swell pushes up to 2ft from the SW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy jumps to a solid 294 (moderate energy). The wind is a light glassy breeze from the SW. This is your window. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions” and I’m feeling it. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, the swell direction is right on the money for this reef and point set-up, and the consistency is there. Monday and Tuesday of the following week (31st Aug and 1st Sept) are a bit of a letdown with cross-onshore winds messing things up.
But don’t write off the second week. We’ve got another promising window on Friday the 4th of September. The morning looks clean again with a glassy 2ft SW swell and a very solid 18-second period. The energy is pumping at 367 (moderate-strong). That’s a long-period groundswell, which is prime for a point break like this. It’ll have plenty of push and shape, just watch for the lulls between sets.
The following Saturday the 5th of September morning is even better for size: 3ft from the SW, glassy again, with a 16-second period and energy at 392 (moderate-strong). This is another top pick. The morning of Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th also look good with glassy, clean conditions and 2ft swell.
Because this is a consistent, exposed reef and point, it handles the swell well. The crowds are marked as “sometimes,” so you might have a few mates out, but nothing like a circus. For a beginner, the swell is small and mellow, so it’s fine, but when it gets over 5ft later in the month, it’s for the more experienced crew.
The real crystal ball moment is Saturday the 5th and Friday the 4th of September. Mark those mornings. Long-range, so don’t bet the house, but the pattern looks promising.
Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
