The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the local spot. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are cookin' up for us.
Alright, so the overall pattern here is a slow burner. We're not getting any big, dramatic swell, but there's a nice window of clean, fun-sized waves coming up. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, but hold tight, because from Thursday the 24th onwards, things start to get interesting, especially for the early birds.
First up, for the morning of Tuesday the 21st, Morro Negrito is showing tiny 1ft swell from the SW. The water is a whopping 86°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The energy is weak (112), and honestly, it's just surfable but nothing to get excited about. The afternoon turns glassy but the swell is still tiny.
Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are pretty poor, with onshore winds and messy conditions. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, here's where we get a little spark. Let's talk about Friday morning, the 24th of July. The wind goes glassy, and we see a nice little uptick in energy (367) from a 1ft SSW swell. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions," and with that glassy surface, it's gonna be clean. The swell period is a solid 24 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell. For a reef and point setup like this, that's perfect – it'll wrap in nicely with some real shape. Crowds are "sometimes" a thing here, so you might have a few others in the water, but it won't be a circus.
Saturday the 25th is another standout. The morning is clear with a glassy 3 mph ESE wind. The swell is a touch bigger at 2ft from the SSW, with a solid 21-second period and strong energy (336). Again, the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." This is the best combo of the whole run: clean, a little more push, and that long-period groundswell wrapping around the point. Get on it.
Sunday the 26th morning is very similar – glassy, 2ft from the SSW, 19-second period, and strong energy (322). Another great session.
By Monday the 27th, the swell is up to 2ft, the period is 19 seconds, and the energy is pumping (462). The morning is glassy with no wind at all. This is a serious contender for the best wave of the forecast. The combination of clean conditions and that long-period SW groundswell on a point break is a recipe for some memorable rides.
The real highlight, though, is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. The swell hits 3ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period and very strong energy (550). The wind is a glassy 3 mph from the ESE. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." That's the best rating we've got. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's still a week out, so keep an eye on it, but if it holds, this is the session to beat.
After that, the swell slowly backs off through the first week of August. Wednesday the 29th morning is still good with 3ft and glassy winds, but the energy drops. By the end of the first week of August, we're back to tiny, ordinary surf.
So, to sum it up: don't bother with this week. The real action starts on the morning of Friday the 24th, but the absolute standouts are Saturday the 25th, Monday the 27th, and the best of the best looks like Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. Get out there for the early glass-off and you'll be rewarded.

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.
