Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Yeah, how’s it goin’? Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Morro Negrito over the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, the start of this run is pretty quiet. The swell is small and wonky, nowhere near the size you’d want to get excited about. Most of the time it’s just not breaking with any power, and the afternoons are getting chopped up by onshore breezes. If you’re not desperate, you might want to have a look at the long-range forecast before paddling out.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 8th. The morning glass is looking spot on, with a clean 2ft of southwest swell and a period of 16 seconds. The energy is starting to build too, with a combined reading of 238. It’s still small, but that long-period groundswell will have some push to it. After that, it’s a bit of a yo-yo—a few clean mornings, but the surf stays in the 1ft to 2ft range, which is just ankle-to-knee high. You’ll be doing more floating than surfing.

Then, we get to the real standout. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are looking like the best of the whole run. The swell climbs to 2ft, still from the southwest, with a period of 16 to 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The mornings are looking glassy and clean, and the combined energy is way up there at 256 and 285. That’s the most powerful we’ll see it. This is the window to make a plan. It’s still not massive, but those long-period lines will offer up some proper shape on the reef and point setups. The wind is calm, and the water is a warm 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable.

Keep in mind, this is a break that’s exposed to the southwest, and the optimum swell direction is from the southwest, so it’s all lining up. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes, so get out early to grab the best of it.

The second week, from the 16th onwards, just fades away again. The swell drops back down to around 1ft to 2ft, and the energy numbers fall back into the low hundreds. The mornings are clean, but it’s back to the small stuff. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so we’ll have to see how it holds.

So, to keep it simple: the first week is a wait. The standout is the Friday and Saturday morning sessions on the 14th and 15th. That’s your best bet for a proper surf. The rest is small, but when it’s glassy, it might be worth a paddle for a few fun ones.

Rusty, out.
