The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking. We've got a solid run of swell on the way for Morro Negrito, but it's a bit of a story with a beginning, a middle, and a long, quiet tail.
The main event kicks off right away, and it's a beauty. Tuesday morning the 28th of July is the standout. We're seeing a clean 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long period of 18 seconds. The energy is moderate (556), and it's coming in with a light 3 mph easterly breeze that's making it glassy. The water is a warm 86°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. This is a reef and point break setup, so that long-period groundswell is going to wrap in perfectly, offering up some proper, well-shaped waves. It's a spot for the advanced crew, and with consistent waves on offer, and crowds only sometimes, you'll get your share. This is the best on offer.
Now, the rest of the first week is a slow fade. Wednesday morning the 29th holds similar 3ft SW swell, but the period has dropped to 16 seconds. Still a clean 3ft with glassy conditions from an ESE wind. Thursday morning the 30th drops to 2ft with a 14-second period, but the wind is calm, making it glassy again. By Friday the 31st, we're down to a 2ft, and the vibe is just ordinary. This pattern of dropping size and still clean conditions continues through the weekend and into the start of the next week. The combined energy drops from moderate (372) on Wednesday down to weak (95) by Saturday afternoon. It's surfable, but it's not going to get your heart racing.
After that, the forecast goes pretty quiet. From Monday the 3rd of August through to the end of the run, we're looking at a long stretch of poor to ordinary conditions. Swell heights consistently drop below 2ft, and even when the wind is glassy, the energy is weak. There's a few days in there, like the 7th of August, where a little pulse of 18-second period swell comes through at 1ft, and the morning wind is clean, but the energy is still weak (142). It's a tease. The afternoons are repeatedly hit by risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds, making it a no-go.
For the entire 16-day window, the one true standout is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. Get on it while it’s good. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
