The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
We’re starting off pretty slow. The first few days have tiny, weak swell and it’s a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 86°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at Morro Negrito. You’ll feel that bathwater.
From Monday the 14th through to Friday the 25th, it’s a long, flat stretch with hardly any energy. The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft most days, and the combined energy is weak, often under 100 or just barely cracking three digits. A few mornings like Tuesday the 15th have a bit of energy climbing to 231 but with only 2ft on offer, it’s nothing to get excited about. Winds are mostly light or glassy in the mornings, which would keep it clean, but there’s just no push. The afternoons get messy with onshores and the odd thunderstorm risk. Honestly, for most of this period, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then, on Saturday the 26th, things finally wake up. We get a pulse of swell coming in from the southwest, bumping up to 4ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon. The period is short though – around 6 to 7 seconds – so it’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 306 in the morning, which is moderate and punchy. The morning is glassy with a slight WNW breeze, so it’ll be clean. That Saturday morning window at Morro Negrito is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s still small enough for a confident intermediate but with that energy, it’ll have some fun little walls. The afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore and drops to marginal.
After that, Sunday the 27th and into the following week, the swell drops back down to 1ft to 2ft and the wind turns onshore again. Not much to chase there.
So overall, if you’re patient, Saturday the 26th morning is your best bet. Everything else is a whole lot of waiting.

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.
