The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Morro Negrito.

First things first, the water is sitting at 87° – that’s a good 4° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. It’s noticeably warm, so you can leave the full wetsuit at home.

We’ve got a quiet start. The first few days, from Thursday the 16th through to the end of next week, are pretty flat. We’re looking at tiny 2ft to 1ft SSW swell with moderate energy (around 111 to 144). The mornings are glassy, which is nice, but there just isn’t enough push to get excited about. The afternoons are mostly a write-off with risk of thunderstorms and onshore breezes. Saturday morning the 18th is glassy on that tiny 2ft, but it’s really just a paddle.

There’s a gap here with no real recommendations until we get into the following week. Expect a bit of a lull.

Now, the standout window starts to build proper on Friday the 24th. The morning shows a jump in energy – 290 – with a 1ft, 24-second SSW groundswell and light cross-offshore winds. It’s clean, but the size is still small. The real juice comes on Saturday the 25th morning. The combined energy hits 426, with a 2ft SSW swell, a 21-second period, and clean cross-off winds from the east. That’s a proper long-period groundswell. For a reef and point setup like Morro Negrito, that long period will wrap in nicely and offer some well-shaped, powerful lines. The sets will be a bit spread out, but the quality makes up for it.

Sunday the 26th morning is another good call – glassy west wind, 2ft SSW, 19-second period, and energy at 306. Clean and fun.

But the absolute best of the run looks like Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th mornings. Monday morning has glassy conditions, 3ft SSW at 19 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 559. Tuesday morning is even better on paper: 3ft SSW, 18-second period, and energy at 587. Glassy again. That’s about as good as it gets for this spot – clean, solid, and consistent. Keep in mind, though, that this is a week and a half out, so while it looks promising, don’t book the time off just yet.

Crowds can be a thing here at Morro Negrito, so if you’re chasing that Tuesday morning glass, get in early.

Later in the window, Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th mornings still have glassy conditions and waist-to-chest-high 2ft to 2ft SW swell, but the energy drops back to the 200s and 160s. It’s still surfable, just not the standout.

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.
