The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
We've got a run of small but clean swell lining up at Morro-Negrito. It's not a massive swell window, but there are some real gems for the advanced crew who know this reef and point set-up. The trade-off is that for a few days straight, the mornings are looking absolutely perfect.
The standout run starts on Monday morning, July 27th. We're looking at a 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 19 seconds. The wind is glassy from the SSE, and the combined energy sits at 428, which is a decent pulse. This is a classic reef/point setup, and that long period will really let the swell wrap in and stand up. It's clean, it's got power, and it's just for the advanced crew. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, is another top call. The swell bumps up a touch to 3ft from the SW, still with a long 18-second period. The wind is glassy again from the ESE, with combined energy at 462. This is the best of the bunch. It's a little bigger, the direction is a bit more west, and the conditions are just as perfect. You'll be getting long, clean lines.
Wednesday morning, July 29th, is also looking clean. The swell is holding at 3ft from the SW, period dropping to 16 seconds, but the wind is dead calm. The energy is still moderate at 372. It's a good morning, but not quite the standout that Tuesday is.
After those mornings, the energy drops. You'll see smaller swells and onshore winds in the afternoons, with the pattern of good mornings continuing but with less size. The swell gets really small from the 4th of August onwards, with waves dropping to 1.0ft and 1ft. There's a bit of a lull in the middle of the week.
Then, things pick up again on Saturday morning, August 8th. That's a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it. The forecast shows a 2ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, glassy wind from the west, and combined energy of 276. It's not as big as the first standouts, but after that flat spell, it'll feel like a gift. The next morning, Sunday the 9th, also looks clean with a 2ft SW swell.
So, the real highlight is Tuesday morning, July 28th at Morro-Negrito. It's got the best combo of size, direction, and silky glassy conditions. Monday, July 27th is a very close second for that super-long period groundswell. Don't sleep on the mornings, because the afternoons here get messy with onshore wind and risk of thunderstorms. It's a spot where you get the reward for an early alarm.
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.
