Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Morro Negrito.
Alright, first up, the water’s running warm, 87°F, which is a good couple of degrees above what you’d normally expect for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there, in a good way. The whole 16-day window kicks off with a nice little pulse from the deep south. This is a reef and point setup, so it loves that long-period groundswell, and we’ve got a proper SW swell direction, which is exactly what this spot wants.
The standout is the very start: Monday morning, July 6th. It’s glassy, dead calm, with a clean 2 feet of SSW swell running at a very long 16 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (335), but the conditions are perfect. It’s small, but it’ll be lined up and clean. This is the best pure surfing window of the whole forecast.
The real highlight, though, with a bit more size, is Tuesday morning, July 7th. Still glassy, clean, and the swell nudges up to 3 feet from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits a strong 530. For a point break, this is the pick of the trip. It’s a premium call.
After that, the surf drops off. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are still glassy but the swell gets smaller – 3 to 3 feet – and the energy drops back into the moderate range. The afternoons get a bit of onshore wind and risk of storms, so stick to the mornings. By Friday, July 10th, it’s 2 feet and only 157 energy, but still glassy in the morning. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
There’s a long gap of really small, weak surf from around July 11th through to July 18th. Swell drops to 1 to 2 feet, periods shorten to 12-14 seconds, and the combined energy is often under 100 – that’s very weak. Most mornings are glassy, but there’s just not enough push. This spot needs the swell, and it’s just not there for over a week.
Then, a promising sign late in the second week. Sunday morning, July 19th, the swell jumps back to 3 feet from the south with a 20-second period – that’s very long period again. Glassy conditions. The energy is back up to 491. It’s a long-range call, so hold your horses, but it looks good.
And then Monday morning, July 20th is another one to circle. 3 feet of longer-period SSW, glassy, and energy up at 502. This is the second true standout – if the first week is a wash, keep your eyes on that Monday the 20th.
This is a spot that’s very consistent, and it’s an advanced wave. It can get crowded sometimes, but with these clean, glassy mornings, it’s worth the paddle. For the first week, the Tuesday morning is the best, but the Monday glass-off is the real surfer’s session.
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.
