Table - best surf conditions forecast for Morro Negrito over the next 16 days.
Right, so, the first real surf on offer here at Morro Negrito kicks off on Wednesday afternoon the 8th of July. It’s a reef and point setup, exposed to the swell. Now, we’re looking at a small, consistent pulse of groundswell from the SSW. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, with the anomaly sitting at 2° – that’s pretty unusual, so you’ll be shedding the wetsuit for sure.
The overall pattern across the next 16 days is consistently small, with a lot of real ordinary conditions. The best of it is actually on Thursday morning the 9th. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell with a 15 second period – that’s proper groundswell, giving you some real push. The winds are glassy, dead calm, and it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (284), but for the size, it’s got some legs. This is your standout window. The break is a classic reef and point, so that long period will wrap in nicely, not just close out. It’s an advanced spot, and it can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
From Friday the 10th through to the 22nd of July, it’s a long run of very small, unremarkable stuff. Most mornings see glassy conditions, but the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft – it’s surfable but very ordinary. The combined energy stays weak to moderate (96 to 233). A few afternoons get some glassy conditions, but the risk of thunderstorms pops up. The afternoon of Tuesday the 21st of July sees a slight uptick to 2ft and a glassy wind, with moderate energy (201), and it’s marked as good surf. That’s the only other window of note in that entire stretch. Don’t get your hopes up for much else.
Then, on Thursday morning the 23rd of July, we get a bit of a curveball. The swell direction shifts to the west, still a small 3ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s weak, windswell-type stuff. But the morning is glassy, and the combined energy is moderate (219). It’s a bit of a wildcard, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. Given the short period, it might be a bit bumpy, but on a point like Morro Negrito, it could still offer up some fun, clean lines. After that, the afternoon turns onshore and messy.
So, the honest truth: this is a quiet period with only two real standouts. Don’t expect much. The first Thursday morning is the pick of the bunch. The second standout is a longer-range call on the 23rd, which is promising but less certain.

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.
