The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a look at Morro Negrito. It's gonna be a slow burn. We start off with a whole lot of nothin', with a gap of several days where the surf is just too ordinary to get excited about.
This first real window is Thursday morning the 20th. It's tiny, with a weak 1ft SW swell (energy of 98). The early glass is the only saving grace, but honestly, it’s a scratch session for the most patient surfer. The water temp feels about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are similar. Mornings offer glassy 1ft SW groundswell, but there's just no power. Afternoons get wrecked by onshore wind and the risk of storms. Not the spot's finest hour.
We finally get a pulse on Wednesday the 26th. A morning SW windswell hits 3ft, and it's glassy calm. The energy is moderate (187), and while the period is a short 6 seconds, it's the most size we've seen. This is the standout of the first week, but it’s still a very average day.
Then we go into another quiet spell until Saturday the 29th. That's when things turn a corner. The 29th and 30th look solid. Saturday morning brings a clean 3ft SSW groundswell (energy of 401) with glassy conditions. The wind is light, offering a clean surface for that long 17-second period swell. This is it. The best on offer. This setup with a long period groundswell and offshore wind will be excellent on this reef and point break. It picks up a touch more in the afternoon. Sunday the 30th is nearly as good, with another glassy morning and a buttery 3ft SSW groundswell (energy of 299).
After that, the size drops again. Tuesday the 1st of September has a promising morning with a 2ft SSW swell (energy of 220) and calm wind, but it’s a smaller echo of the weekend.
The real standout is the Saturday 29th. The swell direction from the SSW is bang on for Morro Negrito, the winds are going to glass off, and it's a consistent, exposed reef and point break. It'll be a proper session, but keep in mind any spot this good can get a crowd, especially on a weekend. Rusty.

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.
