The Lowdown
Alright, let's break it down in feet. Morro Negrito is looking at a pretty flat couple of weeks. Swells are tiny, mostly 1 to 2 feet, coming from the SSW or SW—the right angle for the break. The real problem is the wave energy: it's weak most days, with combined energy usually under 200.
Your best bet is the mornings. You'll find glassy conditions early, especially from Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th. Saturday the 23rd stands out a bit with a 1.5-2 foot SW swell and energy hitting 273, making it the best call of the period. Still, don't expect much push—the period is often short, around 13-16 seconds. Crowds are here sometimes, so with this tiny surf, you might actually score some solitude. Water temp is right where it should be for August.
Afternoons are a write-off. A light breeze flips onshore, messing up the tiny waves. Plus, there's a chance for thunderstorms from around the 15th onward, so watch the weather. Honestly, if you're not willing to paddle out at sunrise, you're probably better off doing something else.

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.
