The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's suss out what the next couple of weeks are looking like for our patch.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a run of tiny, weak swell. The first recommendation isn't much to write home about, with a real slow start on Friday the 28th of August. That morning swell is a measly 1ft from the SSW with a super long 16-second period. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The standout in this entire forecast is Saturday the 5th of September. We get a noticeable bump in energy, with the combined energy hitting strong levels (461). That morning, we’re looking at a 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The wind is glassy out of the SW, so it should be clean. The best bet for that morning is Morro Negrito. This spot is a reef and point setup, exposed to that SW swell. The long period means it'll really wrap in and offer good shape, but that long period can make beach breaks a bit wonky – at a point like this, it should be a treat. It’s an advanced wave, and crowds are a possibility sometimes, so get out there early to have it to yourself.
Leading up to that, the weekend of the 29th-30th August is tiny with 2ft swell. Even though we get some glassy mornings, the energy is only moderate (around 294) and the waves are just too small to be any kind of standout. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Things stay flat through the first week of September, with the swell dipping back down to 1ft and even 2ft on some days. The energy drops back into the weak category (102-160), so it’s really just ankle-snappers for a solid stretch.
After the Saturday the 5th standout, the swell backs off again. The morning of Sunday the 6th of September has a 2ft SW swell with glassy conditions, but the energy is already dropping back to moderate (263). Good for a grovel but not a repeat of the day before. The second week looks similar, with a mix of mornings offering glassy conditions on tiny swell in the 2ft to 2ft range. The best of those later mornings is maybe Friday the 11th of September, with a 2ft SW swell and a clean start, energy at a moderate 268. But it's nothing special. The window from the 6th to the 12th is mostly small and ordinary, with plenty of afternoons getting ruined by onshore winds. All in all, the 5th of September is your one true call-to-action.
Rusty.

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.
