Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, so, the first real surf on offer here at Morro Negrito kicks off on Wednesday afternoon the 8th of July. It’s a reef and point setup, exposed to the swell. Now, we’re looking at a small, consistent pulse of groundswell from the SSW. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, with the anomaly sitting at 2° – that’s pretty unusual, so you’ll be shedding the wetsuit for sure.

The overall pattern across the next 16 days is consistently small, with a lot of real ordinary conditions. The best of it is actually on Thursday morning the 9th. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell with a 15 second period – that’s proper groundswell, giving you some real push. The winds are glassy, dead calm, and it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (284), but for the size, it’s got some legs. This is your standout window. The break is a classic reef and point, so that long period will wrap in nicely, not just close out. It’s an advanced spot, and it can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.

From Friday the 10th through to the 22nd of July, it’s a long run of very small, unremarkable stuff. Most mornings see glassy conditions, but the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft – it’s surfable but very ordinary. The combined energy stays weak to moderate (96 to 233). A few afternoons get some glassy conditions, but the risk of thunderstorms pops up. The afternoon of Tuesday the 21st of July sees a slight uptick to 2ft and a glassy wind, with moderate energy (201), and it’s marked as good surf. That’s the only other window of note in that entire stretch. Don’t get your hopes up for much else.

Then, on Thursday morning the 23rd of July, we get a bit of a curveball. The swell direction shifts to the west, still a small 3ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s weak, windswell-type stuff. But the morning is glassy, and the combined energy is moderate (219). It’s a bit of a wildcard, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. Given the short period, it might be a bit bumpy, but on a point like Morro Negrito, it could still offer up some fun, clean lines. After that, the afternoon turns onshore and messy.

So, the honest truth: this is a quiet period with only two real standouts. Don’t expect much. The first Thursday morning is the pick of the bunch. The second standout is a longer-range call on the 23rd, which is promising but less certain.

Rusty.
