Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at Morro Negrito, a reef and point setup that loves a good SW swell. The water is running a touch warmer than normal at 86°F, which is a nice little bonus. The first few days are pretty quiet, with tiny swell. Thursday the 10th has some small 1ft to 2ft SSW swell, but it’s crossed-up and messy, so not worth paddling out for. Friday the 11th morning is the real tease – glassy conditions with a 2ft SW groundswell running a long 16 seconds, and the energy is moderate (224). That’s a decent window for an advanced surfer on a log or a funboard, but it’s not going to blow your mind. The wind is glassy early, which is a major positive, but the swell is tiny.

The weekend is more of the same: small, clean, but very ordinary. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th offer 1ft to 2ft waves with glassy or clean conditions, but the energy is getting weak (down to 59 on Sunday afternoon). It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. Monday the 14th is a total dud with 1ft and poor conditions.

Then we hit a dry spell where nothing really fires. The second week picks up a little, but it’s still small. The real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Friday the 25th. That’s the one to circle. Calm, glassy conditions, a 4ft SW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (280), and the wind is dead calm, so it’ll be clean. But with that short period, it’s going to be a bit crumbly and fat. It’s still the best looking session in the whole run, especially for a glassy morning paddle. For a reef and point like Morro Negrito, that short period means the waves won’t have the same grunt as a longer period groundswell, but it’ll be fun.

Between the 14th and the 24th, there are a few mornings with glassy, clean conditions, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft) and the energy is weak (often under 100). It’s mostly a waiting game. The afternoon sessions are consistently ruined by onshore winds or t-storms, so don’t bother.

Overall, don’t expect any pumping swell. The morning of Friday the 25th is the only real highlight. If you’re an advanced surfer, you might get a couple of fun little runners on the point. For everyone else, it’s a week of tiny waves and glassy mornings that are more about floating than ripping.
