The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening around Morro Negrito for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a flat start, no two ways about it. From Tuesday the 18th through to late August, the swell barely gets going. Heights mostly under 2 feet, energy readings weak, and while there are some glassy windows, the surf is just too small and ordinary to get excited about. Water temp is pretty normal for the season.
Then we finally get a pulse. Saturday the 29th morning is the first real glimmer – clean and glassy with a 2ft SW swell and energy climbing to 310. The wind is dead calm, and the swell direction matches what this reef and point loves. It’s an advanced spot, so you need to know what you’re doing, and expect a few others around because it can get busy.
Sunday the 30th morning is the pick of the bunch. Swell pushes to 3ft from the SW, energy at 458, and glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze. That’s a long-period groundswell at over 15 seconds, so the waves will have real power and shape – perfect for wrapping around the point. It’ll be clean, lined up, and well worth the wait.
Monday the 31st morning still offers a 3ft SW swell with energy near 300 and glassy wind – a solid backup session.
So, the first week is a dud. Aim for that final weekend, especially Sunday the 30th morning. That’s the one. Morro Negrito with glassy conditions and a proper SW groundswell – it’ll be worth the patience.
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.
