The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start, but there’s a proper pulse of swell coming through towards the end of the first week. The real standout is that Friday the 4th of September into Saturday the 5th, when the ocean wakes up. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86 degrees, so you’ll be in shorts.
The pick of the window is Morro Negrito. This is an advanced reef and point set-up, so it’s not for the groms. It’s consistent and exposed to the SW. The gem arrives on the morning of Friday the 4th. We’re looking at clean 2 feet of SW swell with a period of 18 seconds. That’s long-period groundswell, packing some serious energy (384). The wind is glassy, dead calm, so it’s going to be smooth as silk. This is your best session.
Saturday morning the 5th holds similar quality with 3 feet of SW swell, period 16 seconds, and glassy conditions again. Energy is up to 402. It’s a touch bigger, but still super clean.
The week leading up to that is pretty ordinary. From Sunday the 30th of August right through to Thursday the 3rd of September, we’ve got tiny waves in the 1 feet to 2 feet range, mostly with cross-onshore or onshore winds, and a lot of storm risk. There are a few glassy moments on Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September, but the swell is small and weak (energy in the 120s). It’s a bit of a write-off.
After the weekend, the surf drops back down but stays cleaner. From Sunday the 6th into Monday the 7th, we get smaller 2 feet to 2 feet of SSW swell with glassy mornings. The energy is moderate (183 to 241). Good for a longboard or a fun log, but nothing to drive hours for.
The following week, from the 8th of September onwards, the swell stays small, around 1 feet to 2 feet. The good news is the mornings are often glassy. The energy is moderate (200s). Crowds are possible at Morro Negrito based on the "sometimes" crowds rating, so you might have a few mates out.
The last few days, the 13th and 14th of September, are pretty poor. The swell drops to 1 feet and the energy is weak (80-86). Not worth paddling out for.
So, bottom line: if you’re an advanced surfer, you’re waiting for the morning of Friday the 4th of September. That’s the one. Everything else is small and clean, or just small.
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.
