The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Morro Negrito. The first week is where it’s at—loads of clean, glassy mornings with a consistent run of small but solid SSW groundswell. The standout window is the opening few days.
Water temp is sitting at a crazy 87°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year—feels like a tropical lagoon out there.
Kicking off Saturday July 25th, we’ve got a small but zesty 2ft SSW swell with an extra-long 21-second period (combined energy 409). That’s proper groundswell, and with glassy conditions in the morning, Morro Negrito is going to be mirror-smooth. This reef and point break will handle that long period beautifully. This is the standout session—clean, glassy, and uncrowded if you’re an advanced surfer. Crowds are sometimes around, but you’ll have your pick.
Sunday the 26th serves up another 2ft SSW swell with a 19-second period, glassy again in the morning. Monday the 27th nudges up to 2ft, still with a 19-second period, combined energy at 419. Another unreal glassy morning.
Tuesday the 28th gets a bump to 3ft from the SSW at 18 seconds, combined energy hitting 557, and cross-offshore winds in the morning—that’ll groom the faces perfectly. Still for the advanced crew. Watch for afternoon thunderstorms.
Wednesday the 29th holds the 3ft SSW swell, period dropping to 16 seconds, glassy as glass again. Energy still solid at 373.
From Thursday the 30th, the swell eases to 2ft with a 14-second period, energy below 300. Mornings are still glassy, so still fun, just less grunt. By Saturday August 1st, we’re down to 2ft and energy is soft at 129. The second week gets real small—energy drops to double digits, like 98 on Sunday the 2nd, and 84 on Tuesday the 4th.
Even then, most mornings are glassy or light offshore, so small-wave cruising is still on. Afternoons get a bit bumpy, but the early birds will get the best of it.
So, lock in those morning sessions from Saturday 25th through Wednesday 29th—that’s your best chance for pure, clean surf.
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.
