The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about the next couple of weeks at Morro Negrito. It's a reef and point setup that needs a solid SW groundswell, and this run is pretty quiet overall. The first week is looking real small – we're talking ankle to knee-high waves, nothing to write home about. The morning windows from Thursday the 16th through to the 23rd are glassy and clean, but with swell energy hanging around the 100-160 mark (weak), it's basically a flat spell. There's a solid gap of a few days there with no real recommendations, just tiny leftover bumps.
The better stuff starts to show up around Friday the 24th. That's when we see a bit of a pulse of longer-period groundswell from the SSW. It's not big, but the quality goes up. The standout window this whole forecast is probably the morning of Saturday the 25th. We've got clean conditions with a 2ft SSW swell rolling in at a long 21 second period. The wind shifts offshore from the NE at 6 mph, which is perfect for this point. Wave energy jumps to a moderate 389, and it's set to be clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit will do.
Into the last week of July and the 1st of August, the swell ticks up a notch. The mornings of the 27th, 28th, and 30th are all looking clean with glassy conditions. On Tuesday the 28th, the morning and afternoon both hold at 3ft from the SW at 18 seconds, with wave energy pushing up to 491 – that's the strongest we'll see. The wind is calm, making for a fun, clean session for the advanced crew. Just keep in mind, it's a consistent spot in Panama, but it can get crowded, especially on those cleaner days.

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.
