The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. Wednesday and Thursday are a bit of a write-off with tiny, weak swell and dodgy wind, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. Things start to turn around from Friday morning though, and we get a decent little run of clean, glassy mornings that will bring some life back into the water.
The standout period is from late this week right through the middle of next week. The best window looks to be the morning of Monday, 28 July through to the morning of Thursday, 30 July. The swell is a consistent 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSW, with a moderate period, and the energy is building nicely into the moderate range (428 to 548) – that’s solid, fun-sized surf. The wind is either glassy or light cross-off, so the face will be clean and inviting. This is about as good as it gets in this stretch.
For the absolute best of the lot, I’d point you to Morro Negrito for the Tuesday morning, 28 July. The swell is 3 ft from the SSW, with a clean light cross-off breeze. The combined energy (548) is the strongest of the whole forecast, and the wind is light and clean. This is a sweet spot – just enough size to get a good drop, and the reef and point setup will handle the long-period swell well. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there.
After that, the size slowly drops and the consistency fades through the first week of August. The mornings remain glassy but the swell gets smaller, dropping to 1 ft by the 4th and 5th. The energy is weak (values under 100) and the conditions are ordinary. So, get your fill in that last week of July.
There’s a gap of several days from the 5th of August onward with no real recommendations, so don’t hold your breath for the second week.
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.
