Alright, let’s break this down. Rusty here.
We’ve got a run of small but steady SSW groundswell lining up for Morro Negrito. Don’t expect any monster days – most of the swell sits around 2ft to 3ft, which is sweet for the advanced crew on this reef and point set-up. Anything over 5ft would be too much for beginners, so no worries there.
Starting off Saturday July 4th – a slow burner. Morning’s glassy with a 2ft SSW swell, period a solid 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and with ESE wind at just 3 mph, it’ll be clean. Combined energy is 239 (moderate). Saturday afternoon gets sketchy with t-storm risk and a cross-off breeze. Sunday July 5th morning cleans up again – 2ft, 14-second period, light E wind, clean. Worth a go.
Now Monday July 6th morning: dead calm, zero wind, clear sky, 2ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 337 (moderate but solid). That’s a standout session for the early birds. The long period gives real shape on the point. Tuesday July 7th morning also looks prime – 3ft swell, 18-second period, glassy from the SW – combined energy 530 (moderate-to-strong). This is the pick of the first week for me. The 18-second period means longer waits but killer waves – perfect for a point break like Morro Negrito. Crowds are possible here – it’s marked as “sometimes” busy.
From Wednesday July 8th onward, things get more inconsistent. Mornings stay glassy or clean through Friday July 10th, but the swell drops slightly and afternoons get dicey with wind. The weekend of July 11th-12th offers clean cross-off mornings with 2ft swell, but energy and consistency fade.
Second week drags a bit. July 13th to 16th sees swell drop to 1-2ft, periods shortening to 13-14 seconds. Combined energy dips to 120-170 (weak-to-low moderate). Mornings are glassy but the waves are ordinary. Water temp is about average for the time of year – nothing unusual.
Then we get a little pulse back on Saturday July 18th morning: 3ft SSW, 15 seconds, glassy – combined energy 267. Sunday July 19th morning looks even better with 2ft, 15 seconds and dead calm – energy 305. Those two are promising but they’re more than a week out, so take ’em as a hopeful long-range hint.
Overall, Morro Negrito is a consistent but small-wave spot through this forecast. If you’re advanced and patient, the Tuesday and Monday mornings in the first week are your best bets. Beginners: sit this one out or find a sandbar elsewhere.

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.
