The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again – let’s look at this in feet and yards.
Well, straight up – Morro Negrito isn’t looking too flash for the next couple of weeks. The swell energy sits in the weak to moderate range most of the time, and we’ve got a lot of afternoons that get trashed by onshore wind and the threat of thunderstorms. The real surf action is in the morning glass-offs, but the waves stay small.
The one to circle is Friday the 11th in the morning. Dead calm, glassy, and the swell is a very clean 2 feet from the southwest with a 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is 219 (moderate), so it’s got some legs. Water temp is 86°, which is 4° warmer than the norm for the season – you’ll want a spring suit at most.
Morro Negrito is a reef and point that lines up best with southwest swell, and that’s exactly what we’ve got. The offshore is from the northeast, which we don’t have, but with zero wind the surface will be like a mirror. Heads up, you might see a few others out – crowds are possible.
By the 11th afternoon, the onshore kicks in with storms – no go.
Saturday the 12th morning brings a 2-foot southwest swell, still glassy, but energy drops to 124 (weak). It’s ankle-to-knee high and pretty average.
Sunday the 13th drops more, to about 1 feet, with energy at 81 (weak). Glassy again, but tiny.
From Monday the 14th right through to Thursday the 19th, it’s a long stretch of small stuff between 0.7 and 2 feet, with most afternoons blown out. Mornings give you glassy to light wind, but don’t expect much push.
Thursday the 17th morning offers another small 2-foot southwest groundswell with a 14-second period and full glass. Combined energy is 195 (moderate). It’s the second best window, but still on the small side.
After the 20th, the wind turns rotten – cross-shore and cross-onshore. The swell tries to pick up to 4 feet on the 21st and 22nd, but the period plummets to 6 or 7 seconds. That’s short-period windswell with chop. Kite surfers might have a laugh, but for paddle surfing it’s a mess.
The last hope is the morning of Thursday the 24th – glassy, 1 feet from the southwest, energy at 90 (weak). Surfable but not worth writing home about.
Your best window: Friday the 11th morning. Get out there early. Clean glass, modest but punchy groundswell. After that, you’re mostly waiting for a better run.
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.
