The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit for you.
Morro Negrito is looking small but clean for the next couple weeks. The best session is Saturday the 15th: glassy conditions, a 2ft SSW groundswell with 16 seconds between waves, moderate energy (302). That’s the one. It’ll be clean with a light offshore from the NW at 3 mph.
Friday the 14th morning is also glassy with 2ft SSW swell but a 19-second period – very long lines – and no wind. That’s a classic reef-and-point setup with long lulls. Crowds are possible.
Wednesday 19th morning shapes up nicely too: 2ft SW at 15 seconds, glassy, moderate energy (229). Another clean option.
After that, there’s a gap until Friday 28th morning, which brings a glassy 1ft SW swell with a 19-second period (129 energy). That’s a long way off, so check back.
Afternoons get blown out with onshore wind and storms, so stick to the mornings. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
This is small but clean stuff. Saturday 15th is the standout – get 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.
