The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s the look ahead for Morro Negrito.

We’ve got a pretty quiet run of it to start. You’re looking at small, weak surf for the first week and a half or so. The energy is low, with combined swell energy readings mostly between 69 and 158 (weak). The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 4° above average – so you’ll be sweating in your wettie if you’re wearing one.

The first real standout, and the best bet in the whole outlook, is the morning of Monday, July 27th. We’re talking a clean 2ft of SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, dead calm winds making it glassy. Combined energy jumps to 459 (moderate). That’s a proper, long-period groundswell that will wrap into the point and reef setup at this break. The long period means better shaped waves and longer lulls between sets, making it easier to paddle out. Tuesday morning, July 28th, is also a little ripper – 3ft of SSW swell at 18 seconds, glassy, and the combined energy hits 552. That’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the window, but it’s only for the experts: 3ft sets at a long period can still pack a punch on the reef. Both of these mornings are the pick.

After a bit of a lull, the morning of Sunday, August 2nd shows another pulse – 2ft from the SSW with a 20-second period and glassy conditions, combined energy at 331. Worth a look if you’re patient, though it’s less certain this far out.

Crowds are something to keep in mind here; Morro Negrito can get busy sometimes, but on those glassy, early-morning windows, you’ll be laughing.

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.
