The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the surf outlook for the Morro Negrito area.

We’ve got a pretty lacklustre run coming up over the next 16 days, with very small, weak swell and only a few fleeting windows of decent conditions. The water is sitting at 87° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie if you even bother.

The standout action, such as it is, happens right at the start. Friday, 14 August morning is the pick of the whole period. The swell is only 2ft, but it’s a long-period SSW groundswell at 19 seconds, and the energy is moderate (243). More importantly, the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions – so the waves will be super clean. Morro Negrito is a reef and point break that likes SW swell, and this fits the bill. It’s an advanced wave, so not for beginners, and it can get crowded sometimes. The long period might make it a bit tricky at the beach but on a reef and point it’ll offer nice, well-shaped lines.

After Friday morning, the quality drops off fast. Friday afternoon sees a cross-on breeze and risk of thunderstorms, and the surf is marginal. Saturday 15 August morning is also glassy with 2ft SW swell at 16 seconds and moderate energy (303), so it’s another clean, small option – but then it’s back to ordinary or poor conditions for the rest of the weekend and into the week.

From Sunday 17 August through to the end of the forecast, the swell stays tiny – mostly 1ft to 2ft – with very weak energy (often below 150). Periods range from 10 to 18 seconds, and winds are often light or glassy, but the wave quality is just very ordinary. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Monday 18 August morning, Tuesday 19 August morning, and Thursday 21 August morning, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. The standout from the first week is definitely Friday 14 August morning.

Into the second week, things get even smaller. By Monday 25 August, the swell is down to 1ft with weak energy (83), and the best you can hope for is a glassy morning with tiny, weak waves. Wednesday 27 August is a joke – 0.6ft swell. The energy drops to 44 on the 26th afternoon. A few days like Saturday 29 August morning show a slight bump to 2ft SSW swell at 16 seconds and moderate energy (188), but it’s still very ordinary. Overall, there’s no real standout in the second week – it’s all small, weak, and only worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle.

Given the consistent small swell and glassy or light winds on many mornings, it’s not a total write-off – but it’s very much a micro-surf situation. Don’t expect much power or size. The reef and point setup at Morro Negrito means even small swell can produce a rideable wave when conditions are clean, but you’ll need to be patient.

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.
