The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Things are looking pretty flat for a long stretch here, but there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.

For the next week and a half, we’re stuck in a real slow patch. From Wednesday the 15th right through to Thursday the 23rd, the surf is tiny and weak. We’re looking at waves around 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the SSW, with combined energy readings sitting mostly between 70 and 136 (weak to low-moderate). The period is around 12 to 15 seconds, so there’s a bit of shape in the water, but the size just isn’t there to do much with it. The wind is glassy or near-calm most mornings, which is a tease – clean conditions for a knee-high dribble. It’s surfable, just not exciting. Honestly, this is a stretch of days where you’re better off finding something else to do.

Now, the first real standout comes on Friday, July 24th. Morro Negrito (Panama) starts to wake up. The morning session is looking good: a solid 1ft of SSW swell, but wait, the period jumps to 24 seconds – that’s very long-period groundswell. This gives the waves real push and definition, especially for a reef and point setup like this. The combined energy hits 287 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the east, leaving it clean. The real gem, though, is Saturday, July 25th. The morning is glassy with a 2ft SSW swell, 21-second period, and a combined energy of 346 (solid moderate). That’s the best combo of size, length, and clean conditions, and the swell direction is perfect for the spot’s optimum SW. This is a top pick for the period.

For the experts, Sunday, July 27th morning is also a standout. The swell is 2ft from the SW, period 19 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 435 (strong). Winds are glassy from the ENE. That’s punchy, clean, and consistent. This is proper point-and-reef territory, so the long period will wrap in nicely. Tuesday, July 28th morning is similar: 3ft, 18 seconds, glassy, and clean. Another strong option.

The water temperature is running about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Crowds at Morro Negrito are a possibility – it’s a spot that gets attention, so expect company on the peak days.

Overall, you’ve got a long gap of flatness, then a solid week of quality, building surf from the 24th onward. The mornings are where it’s at. Stick to those.

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.
