Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Morro Negrito over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this isn’t a blockbuster outlook. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and tricky conditions. The wave energy is mostly in the low to moderate range, with values like 211 and 239 knocking around, but don’t let those numbers fool ya. The swell is tiny.

The best window we’ve got is the very start. Tuesday morning, September 8th, is the standout. Morro Negrito is showing a clean 1 ft of SSW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is glassy—dead calm—and the water temps are about average for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. The wave energy is 211 (moderate). For a reef and point setup like this, that long period will wrap in nicely, giving you some clean, lined-up waves. It’s small, but it’ll be fun for the advanced crew. Expect crowds to be possible here, as it’s a known spot.

After that, it’s a real struggle. The rest of that week and into the next sees the swell hovering around 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the SSW or SW. The wind turns cross-onshore or onshore for most sessions, and the water gets choppy. Thursday morning the 10th has a bit of energy at 235 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on, so it’s messy. Friday morning the 11th is glassy again with a 2 ft SW swell, period 16 seconds, energy 212 (moderate), but it’s still small and the afternoon turns to junk.

Saturday morning, September 12th, is glassy with 2 ft waves, but the energy drops to 123 (weak) and the period drops to 14 seconds. It’s surfable, but ordinary.

From Sunday the 13th onward, the energy really plummets. We’re looking at readings of 60, 74, 77, 81—all weak. The swell is 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is a mixed bag of glassy, cross-off, or cross-on. Nothing to get excited about. There’s a brief uptick on Wednesday morning, September 16th, with 2 ft, period 16 seconds, and glassy conditions, but the energy is only 186 (moderate). Still very small.

The last week, from September 17th to the 23rd, is a write-off. The swell stays tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is consistently weak to low-moderate. The best you could hope for is a 1 ft wave with a 21-second period on Saturday morning, September 19th, but the wind is cross-on and the energy is only 174 (moderate). Not worth chasing.

Summary: Tuesday morning, September 8th, is your best bet. It’s the only day where the glassy wind and long-period groundswell come together for clean, lined-up waves, even if they’re small. After that, it’s a long drought of poor conditions. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but for now, I’d say this stretch is mostly a kite-surfing setup with the cross-onshore winds and weak swell, rather than a paddle surfer’s dream.
