The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re starting off with a bit of a slow one. The first few days are offering waves, but they’re nothing to write home about. The real action starts to build towards the end of the month and into the first week of September.
The standout session is definitely Saturday, 29th August, on the morning. Morro Negrito will be glassy, with a clean 2ft swell from the SW, a period of 16 seconds, and combined wave energy at 311 (moderate). The offshore wind is glassy, which is a major positive. The water is sitting at a warm 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Another strong option is Monday, 31st August, in the morning. It’s calm and glassy, with a 2ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and combined energy of 209 (moderate). The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s a consistent spot that handles the swell direction well.
From the 21st to the 23rd, the swell is small and pretty ordinary, with heights around 1ft to 2ft. The wind is mostly glassy or light, but the waves are just not doing much. The 24th through the 27th is a bit of a write-off, with poor conditions, onshore winds, and a messy short-period swell on the 27th (3ft to 4ft, but only 6-7 seconds). That’s more of a kite-surfing window than a paddle session.
The 28th shows a bit of life, but it’s not until the 29th that things really click. From the 30th of August through to the 2nd of September, the mornings are consistently good. Glassy conditions, 2ft to 3ft swell from the SW or SSW, periods around 14-16 seconds, and combined energy in the 200-300 range. The 4th of September morning also looks promising, with a 2ft SW swell, 18-second period, and combined energy of 344 (moderate to strong). That’s a groundswell with a very long period, so it will be best at the point and reef setup at Morro Negrito.
Overall, the best surf is locked in for the mornings of 29th August, 31st August, 1st September, and 4th September. The long-range stuff on the 4th is promising but less certain. The stretch from the 24th to the 27th is a gap you’ll want to sleep through, but after that, the pattern turns on.
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.
