The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch of coastline, but in feet and degrees.
We’re looking at Morro Negrito, a reef and point break that’s exposed to the SW. It’s a consistent wave, and the water is a warm 87°F, which is a couple of degrees warmer than what’s normal for this time of year.
The opening days are flat and slow. The morning of Saturday, August 8th has a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is weak (238), so you’ll get clean, small lines but not much power. It’s surfable, but nothing to race for.
The real standout, the one you want to plan for, is the morning of Friday, August 14th. We’ve got a clean 2ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 19 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (247) and the wind is calm, glassy. For a reef and point, this is a dream setup. Long, clean walls, easy paddling between sets. This is the best of the forecast.
The morning of Saturday, August 15th is also a cracker. A touch bigger at 2ft from the SW, a 16-second period, and glassy. Energy is moderate (277). Another morning of clean, lined-up waves, but crowds are possible, so expect some company.
The second week turns into a series of small, glassy mornings with 2ft to 2ft SSW swell, but the energy drops. The morning of Tuesday, August 18th is tidy with a 2ft SW swell (15 secs) and glassy conditions, but it’s nothing special.
So, to sum it up: the Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August are the clear winners. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
