The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s headed our way.
It’s gonna be a slow grind early on. Right now, Morro Negrito is offering next to nothing – tiny, weak 1ft waves with poor conditions and a light onshore breeze from the SSW. The energy is weak, clocking in at 151, and the water is running about 86°, a touch warmer than average for the season. Not worth paddling out for the 23rd.
Monday morning the 24th: glassy, zero wind, but still just 1ft of very long period southwest groundswell (18 seconds). Clean as a mirror but almost no push. Energy drops to 120 (weak). Tuesday the 25th morning is more of the same: glassy, 1ft, 16-second period, weak at 102. Nice looking ocean but tiny.
We finally get a pulse on Saturday morning the 29th. Swell holds at 2ft from the southwest, period drops to 16 seconds, and energy climbs to 292 (moderate). Winds are glassy from the southeast – finally something clean and rideable. The reef and point will be working. Crowds can pop up sometimes, so expect a few friends.
Sunday morning the 30th is also glassy with 2ft SW swell, 14-second period, energy 248. Consistent and clean, but not a standout.
The real gold is on Friday the 4th of September. We get a jump to 3ft from the SW, 18-second period, and the energy surges to 511 (strong). Wind is light from the SW, glassy. The direction lines up perfect for the point and reef. That’s a session to mark on the calendar.
Saturday the 5th tops it. Morning brings 3ft SSW groundswell, glassy wind, energy at 598 (strong). Afternoon builds to 4ft SW with 16-second period, energy hitting 626 (strong). Glassy both halves of the day. For advanced surfers, that’s your window. Beginners might find it a handful.
The second week tails off with smaller but clean conditions through the 7th of September. Nothing to rival the 4th and 5th.
Bottom line: the 4th and 5th of September are the only true standouts. Everything else is small or average.
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.
