The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s see what’s on the table for the next 16 days.
We’re looking at Morro Negrito, a reef and point setup that’s consistent and exposed to SW swell. The water is sitting at 87°F – that’s about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a real bathtub out there. The first few days are pretty quiet with small waves and ordinary conditions, but things start to build from Friday.
The standout period is Friday morning, August 14th. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, producing moderate wave energy (244). The wind is calm and glassy, which means the surface will be like a mirror. This is a classic point-and-reef setup, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely and offer well-shaped, lined-up waves. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but with that combo of clean conditions and a long-period groundswell, it’s the best session on offer.
Saturday morning, August 15th, is also worth a look. Swell is 2ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, energy moderate (303) and the wind is glassy again. Slightly more size but the period is a little shorter – still, it’s a very good option.
After that, the swell fades a bit and the afternoons get messy with onshore winds and storm risks. The mornings remain clean and glassy through the rest of the window, but wave heights stay small – mostly 1ft to 2ft. The energy drops to weak (two-digit numbers) by the end of the first week and stays that way. There’s a slight lift in swell around August 27th with a 1ft SW swell at 18 seconds and clean morning conditions, but it’s still small. The second week is quiet, with no big pulses showing.
So, bottom line: get on it Friday morning, August 14th, for the best combination of clean glass, long-period groundswell, and good shape. Saturday morning is a solid backup. After that, it’s small and mellow for the rest of the run.
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.
