The Lowdown
Alright folks, ol' Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We're gonna be pretty quiet for a while, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a struggle. We've got a solid gap with no real surf on offer from Tuesday the 21st all the way through to the end of that week. The waves are just too small and the wind is messy. You'll see a few bumps on the 23rd and 24th, but honestly, it's not worth paddling out for. The energy is weak (61 to 279) and those afternoon storms and onshore breezes are going to chop it up. It's a bit of a waiting game.
Now, the real story starts to build from Sunday the 26th. The combined energy is starting to climb into the moderate range (351 to 465), and we're getting these glassy mornings with a light air. The standout period is definitely the Monday morning on the 27th. That's when the swell is showing 2.3ft from the SSW with a period of 19 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The wind is glassy, the water temp is about average for the time of year, and the energy is ramping up (465). This is the best we've seen so far.
But the real highlight, the one you need to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday the 28th. That morning is looking special. The swell is hitting 3ft from the SSW, still with that lovely 18-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 544. The wind is glassy, and the forecast is for "very good" conditions. This is the one. Morro Negrito is an advanced reef and point break that's consistently exposed to the SW, so it's going to be handling this swell perfectly. The only downside is that it can get a bit busy, so you'll want to be an early bird.
The wave quality will hold up nicely through the following week, with the 30th and 31st offering solid 2.6ft waves and glassy mornings (energy around 272-280). The energy starts to drop off as we head into August, but there are still some clean, glassy windows to be had. Just remember that long-period swell like this can be a bit too straight for beach breaks, but at a point and reef like Morro Negrito, it's going to be a thing of beauty.
Alright, I'm signing off. Catch you in the water.

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.

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.
