The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from right here on the ground. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it ain't gonna be a barnstormer. We're lookin' at a long, drawn-out period of small, clean surf. The real story here is the consistency of the conditions, not the size. We've got a consistent, long-period groundswell from the SW running through the whole window, but it's barely a whisper in terms of power. The combined energy is mostly sitting in the mid-to-high double digits (between 80 and 170) right through, which is pretty weak. This is a stretch for boards with a bit of foam under 'em.

The standout spot, and really the only game in town for a surfer, is Morro Negrito. It's a reef and point setup that loves this SW swell direction. The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. You'll want a longboard or a funshape.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th: Sunday is a write-off with that cross-onshore wind and risk of t-storms. Monday morning, however, is the real gem. We're talkin' a tiny 2ft SW swell, but with a 14-second period and glassy conditions from a light NNE breeze. That's gonna be dead flat clean. The waves will be small and slow, but you'll have it to yourself—crowds are only "sometimes" here, and on a day like this, you'll probably be the only one out. The point will turn that long-period energy into something you can actually ride.

Tuesday the 18th through to the end of the month: This is where the pattern sets in. Every morning is glassy or has a light offshore breeze from the E or SE. The swell hangs around 1ft to 2ft, with periods ranging from 11 to 18 seconds. The wave energy is consistently in the low 100s to mid-80s. This is pure, tiny, soul-surf territory. The afternoons are generally a no-go with onshore breezes and storm risks kicking up. The Thursday the 27th afternoon has a slight blip in energy (134) but it's still super small.

The best of the bunch is still Monday morning the 17th. That glassy session on the tiny groundswell is the cleanest you'll see. After that, every morning from the 19th right through to the 31st of August is basically the same story: little waves, clean conditions, perfect for a log or a mid-length. If you have a flexible schedule, pick any morning with a glass-off and you'll be happy. But don't expect any power—this is a meditative, longboard-only kind of stretch.

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.
