The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s shaking out for Morro Negrito over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are offering small, clean waves, but nothing that’s gonna get your heart pumping. The real story here is the water – it’s sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (4°F anomaly). That’s a nice bonus for a long session.
We’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of small, glassy mornings. Monday the 24th kicks things off with 1ft of SW swell and that 18-second period is a proper groundswell, but the energy is weak (120). The wind is dead calm, glassy as it gets, making those tiny waves look like a mirror. This pattern holds through Tuesday and Wednesday mornings – 1ft, glassy, clean but very ordinary. The combined energy drops to 87 by Wednesday, which is weak. Thursday morning is even smaller at 0.7ft.
The first real standout comes on Saturday, the 29th of August. The morning session is looking tidy. We’ve got a glassy swell bumping up to 2ft from the SW, with a 16-second period and moderate energy (286). The wind is a slight air from the south, keeping it glassy. This is a good call for a paddle – clean, consistent for the size, and that long period means the sets will have a bit of shape on the reef and point setup. The afternoon sees a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore breeze, which messes it up, so get out early.
The following morning, Sunday the 30th, is also a winner. Another 2ft of SW swell, glassy conditions with a light WNW breeze, and energy at 231. It’s more of the same clean, small-wave fun. This is a good run for the point break, where the long period (15 seconds) will line up nicely.
Looking further out, the first week of September starts to get interesting. Thursday the 4th of September morning is a definite highlight. The swell is still 3ft from the SW, but the energy jumps to 491 (moderate), and it’s glassy. That’s a solid punch of energy on a clean surface. The wind is a slight offshore from the SW, which is exactly what the doctor ordered for this spot. This is the best on offer – clean, good energy, and the swell direction matches the optimum SW. It’s an advanced wave, so expect a bit of power.
The next day, Friday the 5th of September, is a bit of a letdown. The same size swell (3ft) is there, but the wind is cross-onshore in the morning, and the afternoon turns into a choppy mess with 9 mph winds. The energy is still high (444), but the wind tears it apart.
After that, we settle back into a pattern of small, clean mornings. Sunday the 7th of September has a decent 2ft, glassy afternoon, and Monday the 8th is similar. The energy drops back to the 160-180 range, so it’s back to small, clean, relaxing waves.
Overall, the standout is Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August for the clean small-wave sessions, and the real gem is Thursday the 4th of September morning – that glassy, moderate-energy 3ft SW swell with offshore wind is the best bet for a proper session. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.
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.
