Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for us.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Morro Negrito, a reef and point setup that handles a good SW swell. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. This spot is consistent and for the advanced crew, so know your limits. The standout window is shaping up for Saturday the 5th of September and into the following week.

Things kick off proper on Sunday morning, August 30th. It’s small but clean – 2ft of SW groundswell at a nice long 14 seconds. The wind is glassy, so expect smooth, lined-up sets. The combined energy is a modest 225, so it’s gentle but fun for a bigger board. Afternoons get a bit dicey with onshore breezes and risk of storms.

Monday the 31st stays tiny, with 2ft SSW swell and calm to glassy mornings. It’s surfable but ordinary. Tuesday and Wednesday see the size drop a little more to 2ft, but the mornings stay clean with light or glassy winds. The period stretches out to 17 seconds on Wednesday afternoon, but the onshore kills it.

Friday morning, September 4th, the energy starts building – we see a jump in combined energy to 395 with a 2ft SW swell, 18-second period. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit bumpy, but the power is there. Still a bit marginal.

Now, Saturday morning, September 5th is the real deal. Swell pushes up to 3ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the combined energy hits 535 – moderate but punchy. The wind goes glassy. This is your best window for clean, lined-up waves at Morro Negrito. It’s not huge, but the quality is going to be sweet. Afternoon goes onshore again.

Sunday the 6th holds some leftover 2ft swell with glassy morning conditions, energy at 248. Good, but not the peak. Then from Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th, mornings stay glassy with consistent 2ft SSW swell, periods between 14 and 18 seconds. Energy stays in the 200-300 range. This is a solid run of clean, surfable waves. The afternoons are generally a write-off with onshore winds or storms.

Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th follow the same pattern – small but glassy mornings, onshore afternoons. By Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th, the swell drops to 1-2ft, and the energy drops below 150. It gets marginal. Monday the 14th sees a long-period 18-second swell, but only 1ft, energy at 131 – small and weak.

So the clear standout is Saturday morning, September 5th, with the biggest, cleanest swell of the period. That’s your one to circle. After that, the mornings from the 6th to the 9th are consistent and clean, just a little smaller. For a spot this consistent, even the flat days don’t last long. Keep an eye on the forecasts.

Rusty out.
