Morro Negrito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for this stretch of coast. We’ve got a solid run of small, clean swell on the horizon, but it’s not going to blow your mind. The real standout is the start of the period with some glassy mornings.

First up, Morro Negrito is looking real nice on Saturday afternoon, July 4th. The swell is small at 2 ft from the SSW, but it’s a 15-second period groundswell – that’s got some push. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is over 4°F warmer than normal, so it’s a real treat. The combined swell energy is moderate at 222. Wind is a light offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, keeping things clean. This is a reef and point break that needs the right direction, and we’re getting it from the SSW, which is real close to its optimum SW. Expect some fun, shaped-up waves, but with crowds sometimes, so get out there early.

Sunday morning, July 5th is the real gem of the whole forecast. Glassy conditions, wind from the ESE at only 3 mph – that’s a total glass-off. Swell is 2 ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and energy is moderate at 209. It’ll be small but clean as a whistle. This is the best chance for a peaceful, fun session.

The run continues with clean mornings right through to Tuesday, July 7th. That morning is clear with absolutely no wind – glassy. Swell ticks up to 3 ft from the SSW, 18-second period (very long period groundswell), and energy jumps to 530. That’s moderate to strong energy. Long period waves like this love points and reefs, so Morro Negrito is set up nicely. This could be the pick of the week for a surfer who knows what they’re doing – advanced only, as it’s a consistent break.

After Tuesday, the afternoons get messy with cross-onshore winds and storms, so mornings are your window. From Wednesday, July 8th through Saturday, July 11th, we see small swell around 2 ft to 3 ft with glassy mornings and some clean sessions. The best of these is Saturday, July 11th afternoon when the wind goes glassy from the SE at 3 mph – small but clean.

From Sunday, July 12th into the second week, the swell drops off. Mornings stay glassy but the waves get real small – around 2 ft to 1 ft. The energy dips into the low 100s and even below 100. There’s a bit of a lull with poor surf in the afternoons. Sunday, July 19th is promising with a morning glass-off and swell back up to 3 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and energy at 275. That’s still a couple weeks out, so keep an eye on it – it could be a nice comeback.

Overall, the first week offers the best conditions, with Tuesday morning, July 7th being the standout for size and quality. After that, it’s mornings only, and the second week is a waiting game. No big bombs here, but if you’re a glassy-wave lover, there’s plenty to smile about.
