The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. Let’s talk Morro Negrito, a serious reef and point for the advanced crew. Sixteen days ahead, but the first few are just average.
Monday the 31st of August starts with a 2ft swell from the SSW, period at 13 seconds. The morning is glassy – nice to look at – but only “surfable” conditions. Water temp is a touch warmer than usual at 86°, about 3° above average. The combined swell energy is moderate at 126, so there’s some life, but nothing big. Afternoon brings risk of thunderstorms and a light onshore wind, so no good.
Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September: still around 2ft to 2ft, glassy mornings, but the energy bounces around. Nothing to get excited about. This stretch is just filler.
The real pulse starts Friday the 4th of September. Morning sees a 2ft swell from the SW, but the period jumps to 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. Energy hits 384 (moderate and building). The wind is glassy from the SSE, so it’s clean. This is the first “good surf” note. For a reef and point, that long period will shape up nicely.
Saturday the 5th of September morning is the best session of the window. Swell builds to 3ft from the SSW, period still at 16 seconds, energy peaks at 480. Glassy conditions with a light westerly breeze. Clean lines, decent push for the size, and that point will be running. This is the one to aim for.
Sunday the 6th holds at 2ft with 15-second period and glassy conditions, energy around 241. Still good, but dropping off. The following week sees swell dropping to 1ft to 2ft, with periods still in the 14–18 second range, keeping some class. There are glassy mornings later, like Friday the 11th of September (2ft, 16-second SSW, calm winds), but the energy is lower.
From the 8th of September onward, winds get messy, with cross-shore or onshore breezes and risk of thunderstorms in the afternoons. The surf stays small, energy mostly under 200. A few glassy windows exist, like the 14th of September morning (1ft, 19-second period – very long period, but tiny), but the prime time is behind us.
Bottom line: your best bet is Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th of September, with Saturday morning being the clear winner. Small but clean, with enough period to make the reef and point work. After that, it’s for the patient ones. Crowds can show up sometimes at Morro Negrito, so get there early on that Saturday. No major wind, just small surf and long waits toward the end.
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.
