The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up.
Morro Negrito is a reef and point setup, exposed to the SW, and the optimum swell direction is SW. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, drawn-out run of small, mostly ordinary surf. The first good recommendation doesn’t show up until Saturday the 8th of August. That’s a solid week of waiting. Before that, we’ve got tiny swell – think 1ft to 2ft – with a lot of glassy mornings but the wave energy is weak, mostly in the double digits (like 33 to 127). The afternoons are often trashed by onshore breezes or storms. Not much to get excited about, but the mornings are at least clean.
So, the standout in this whole 16-day run is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. We’ve got a 2ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, which is proper long-period groundswell. The energy is moderate (251). The wind is glassy, calm – that’s a major positive. This is a point and reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely, not just close out. It says “expect good surf conditions,” and that’s the best we’re going to see. The swell direction is SSW, which is close enough to the optimum SW to work well. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
After that, Sunday the 9th of August morning is also glassy with a 2ft, 14-second SSW swell, but the energy is lower (153), and it’s just “surfable but ordinary.” The rest of the second week is a lot of the same – small, clean mornings with 1ft to 2ft SW swell, and afternoons turning onshore or stormy. A few glassy mornings around the 13th through 16th of August are worth a look if you’re desperate, but none of them have the energy or the period of that Saturday the 8th.
Bottom line: Wait for the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. That’s your best bet. Everything else is small and ordinary.
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.
