Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from right here on the ground. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it ain't gonna be a barnstormer. We're lookin' at a long, drawn-out period of small, clean surf. The real story here is the consistency of the conditions, not the size. We've got a consistent, long-period groundswell from the SW running through the whole window, but it's barely a whisper in terms of power. The combined energy is mostly sitting in the mid-to-high double digits (between 80 and 170) right through, which is pretty weak. This is a stretch for boards with a bit of foam under 'em.

The standout spot, and really the only game in town for a surfer, is Morro Negrito. It's a reef and point setup that loves this SW swell direction. The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. You'll want a longboard or a funshape.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th: Sunday is a write-off with that cross-onshore wind and risk of t-storms. Monday morning, however, is the real gem. We're talkin' a tiny 2ft SW swell, but with a 14-second period and glassy conditions from a light NNE breeze. That's gonna be dead flat clean. The waves will be small and slow, but you'll have it to yourself—crowds are only "sometimes" here, and on a day like this, you'll probably be the only one out. The point will turn that long-period energy into something you can actually ride.

Tuesday the 18th through to the end of the month: This is where the pattern sets in. Every morning is glassy or has a light offshore breeze from the E or SE. The swell hangs around 1ft to 2ft, with periods ranging from 11 to 18 seconds. The wave energy is consistently in the low 100s to mid-80s. This is pure, tiny, soul-surf territory. The afternoons are generally a no-go with onshore breezes and storm risks kicking up. The Thursday the 27th afternoon has a slight blip in energy (134) but it's still super small.

The best of the bunch is still Monday morning the 17th. That glassy session on the tiny groundswell is the cleanest you'll see. After that, every morning from the 19th right through to the 31st of August is basically the same story: little waves, clean conditions, perfect for a log or a mid-length. If you have a flexible schedule, pick any morning with a glass-off and you'll be happy. But don't expect any power—this is a meditative, longboard-only kind of stretch.

Rusty.
