The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty drawn-out run of small, clean conditions at Morro Negrito. This is a reef and point setup that only works for advanced surfers, so don’t get any ideas if you’re just learning. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real standout, and honestly the best of the whole run, is Saturday morning, the 15th of August. We’ve got a clean 2ft SW swell, glassy conditions with zero wind, and the combined energy is sitting at a solid 276 (moderate energy). That’s a proper little window for a point break that loves a SW swell. The period is a healthy 16 seconds, so it’s good groundswell, and with the offshore being NE, this spot should be firing clean. Just know that crowds are possible here.
Before that, the morning of Friday the 14th of August is also worth a mention. It’s glassy again, with a 2ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 19 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, which on a reef and point like this is a dream. Combined energy of 249 (moderate). The morning is the clear pick – the afternoons are a write-off with onshore winds nearly every day.
Looking further out, the morning of Thursday the 20th of August is promising but less certain. Another glassy morning, with a 2ft SSW swell, and the combined energy is the highest we see at 346 (moderate). The period is 16 seconds again. If this holds, it could be a beauty, but it’s a long way off.
The pattern is clear: the mornings are your only chance. The afternoons are almost universally poor, with onshore winds and often a risk of thunderstorms. The swell stays in the 1ft to 3ft range the whole time, so this is strictly a small-wave, high-performance board situation. The consistency is there, but the size is not. The first week is a lot of “surfable but ordinary” – the real highlights are those two mornings on the 14th and 15th, and maybe the one on the 20th.
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.
