The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow burner, but there’s a sweet payoff if you’re willing to wait.
The first week is pretty flat and ordinary. From the 22nd through the 28th of August, you’re looking at tiny, weak swells – mostly around 1ft – with poor wind and messy conditions. It’s a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. A long, quiet stretch.
Things start to turn on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning at Morro Negrito is the first real highlight. The swell is still small, about 2ft from the SW, but the energy is finally showing up with a reading of 307 (moderate energy). The wind is dead calm, glassy, which is a huge plus for a reef and point break. The wave period is a long 16 seconds, meaning proper groundswell that will wrap nicely around the point. The water is a warm 87°F, much warmer than average for this time of year.
Sunday the 30th of August morning is also decent, with a similar 2ft swell and glassy conditions. It’s a good option, but that Saturday morning glass is the best of the early run.
The absolute standout, though, is Friday the 4th of September. The morning forecast is looking fantastic. We’re talking a 3ft swell from the SW with a very long 18-second period. The energy is pumping at 505 (strong wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, which will groom the waves perfectly. This is the pick of the entire outlook. Clean, powerful, and well-shaped.
Saturday the 5th of September morning is also very good, with similar 3ft swell and glassy conditions, so you can make a weekend of it.
So, the first week is a dud, but the end of August and the start of September have some real quality. That Friday the 4th is the one to lock in.
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.
