Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Morro Negrito. This is a long-range view, so let’s get straight into it.

We’ve got a classic bit of dry season – a slow start with small, clean waves and then a big dose of stormy energy later on that’ll be more for the locals and the brave. This reef and point setup needs that SW groundswell to come in right, and it’s looking a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfy in boardies.

The first real call is for Tuesday afternoon, September 15th. Morro Negrito is showing a super clean 2 ft SSW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds and glassy winds out of the SW at just 3 mph. This is a proper groundswell, and the energy is moderate (231). That long period will wrap around the point nicely, but it might be a bit too straight for the inside beach sections – stick to the point for the best lines. This is the standout session of the whole run; it’s small but absolutely perfect.

We roll into Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th with more of the same small 2 ft swell, though the period drops a bit. Wednesday morning is glassy again with an easterly breeze and you’ll get some fun, clean ones. Thursday morning is dead calm – 0 mph NW wind and glassy conditions. This is the kind of window where you can really milk a tiny wave.

Friday the 18th is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and poor conditions, so give it a miss. Saturday the 19th morning is a bit of a reprieve with a glassy 1 ft swell, but it’s low energy (90). The afternoon turns into a stormy mess.

The next big standout window comes on Monday morning, September 21st. It’s back to that 2 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, dead calm with NW wind at 0 mph and glassy water. The energy is back up (214). Another classic small-wave point session where you don’t even need a paddle out – just a long board and a clear head.

Then things get interesting for the experts. Thursday morning, September 24th, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the SW, but the period drops to a short, choppy 7 seconds. The wind is onshore, and the energy is high (322), making it a messy, powerful closeout. This is more of a paddle battle than a surfer’s dream and would be way better for a kite session than a prone paddle.

After that, it’s a long stretch of poor onshore conditions right through to the end of September. There’s a small window on Sunday morning, September 27th with a light 2 ft SW swell (13 sec) and clean cross-shore winds, but the energy is moderate (216) and the forecast calls for marginal conditions. Not a priority.

So, to sum it up: grab your longboard for Tuesday the 15th and Monday the 21st. Those are your clean, glassy, small-wave gems. Everything else is either blown out or too messy. The 24th is for the hardcore crew on a shortboard or a kite. Stay salty.
