The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty checking in from Morro Negrito. Let's break down the next 16 days.
We're off to a slow start. July 22nd and 23rd are flat with next to no energy (58) and dodgy weather. Don't bother paddling out. It's not until late on Friday the 24th that we see a little hope, but the waves are still tiny.
The real window opens up Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 28th. A proper SSW groundswell fills in. The water is running at 86°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than normal, so ditch the thick rubber. The absolute best session will be Tuesday morning the 28th. We’ve got 3ft waves from the SSW with a healthy combined energy of 556, and light offshore ESE winds keep the surface glassy. That long period (18 seconds) is right in the sweet spot for this reef and point break. Watch out for the crowds though.
The rest of the week serves up clean but smaller mornings, like Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st. Then we hit the doldrums. From August 1st through the 5th, it's mostly flat with weak energy and messy afternoons. Not much to get excited about.
There's a promising blip on the radar for Thursday morning, August 6th. A pulse of 3ft SSW swell with a 15-second period and glassy conditions. Combined energy is 262 – a late-season spike worth keeping an eye on. It's a long way out, but that morning session looks like it could be a little score.
Stay salty.
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.
