The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in the old school numbers.
For the next couple of weeks the swell’s small and sleepy. The only real bright spots are Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, with a little extra on Monday the 17th.
Let’s start with Friday morning the 14th at Morro Negrito. Clean conditions, not a breath of wind – glassy – and a 2ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period. That’s long period, so it’ll have some punch, but might run a little straight on the beach. Water temp is about what you’d expect for August, nothing unusual. Combined energy is sitting at 245 (moderate juice). Crowds do pop up sometimes, so get out early.
Saturday morning the 15th, still glassy. Calm wind again, 2ft SW swell, 16-second period – a little bigger, still clean. Energy reads 294. A fine morning for a paddle.
Sunday the 16th? Choppy cross-on winds, poor. But Monday the 17th bounces back with a glassy morning: 2ft SW, 14-second swell, energy 255.
After that it goes small: 1ft to 2ft, period dropping to 12-15 seconds, most afternoons trashed by storms. Mornings are glassy on the 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th but with weak energy down to 51 or 58 – just tiny ripples. Not worth a special trip.
If you pick one morning, make it Friday the 14th or Saturday the 15th. After Monday the 17th, it’s a longboard-only quiet spell.

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.
