The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a really nice run of clean, glassy mornings coming up that’ll keep the stoke alive. The standout period is definitely the first few days – from Monday the 27th through to Thursday the 30th, with some lovely long-period groundswell and calm winds. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable without a wetsuit.
Kicking off Monday the 27th, Morro Negrito is looking sweet. The morning is glassy with a small but clean 2ft swell from the SSW, with a long 19-second period. The combined energy is moderate (428). This is a classic reef and point setup, and with the wind dead calm, it’s going to be smooth and lined up. This is a confident call – the best of the week. The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a light onshore breeze, so the morning is where it’s at.
Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are very similar: glassy mornings with a consistent 3ft swell from the SW, periods around 16-18 seconds, and energy still in the moderate range (462 and 373). The wind is light and offshore, so expect clean, peeling waves. This is a higher-quality break, but it’s an advanced spot, so keep that in mind. Crowds are a possibility here, so get in early.
Thursday the 30th morning is another glassy gem with 2ft from the SW, 14-second period, and energy dropping to 215. Still very surfable.
From Friday the 31st onward, the swell drops and the conditions get a bit ordinary. We’re looking at 2ft or smaller, with shorter periods and a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds. The energy dips into the weak range (below 100 by the 4th). There’s a definite gap in quality from Friday until around Saturday the 8th of August.
That Saturday the 8th of August morning shows some promise again – glassy, 2ft from the SSW with a 16-second period and energy back up to 215. It’s a long way out, but it’s a glimmer of hope for a return to the clean stuff.
So, to wrap it up: the best window is Monday the 27th through Thursday the 30th, first thing in the morning. Morro Negrito is the pick, with glassy conditions and a clean, long-period SW groundswell. After that, expect a flat spell until the second week, where we might see a little pulse around the 8th.
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.
