The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Morro Negrito. We’ve got a run of small, low-energy surf stretching across most of the next two weeks. The first few days are really only for the keen and the patient, with clean but tiny waves. There’s a promising little spike in energy around the middle of next week, but it’s still nothing to write home about. Let’s walk through it.

We kick off on Saturday, 12 September with a glassy morning, wind from the SSE at just 3 mph. The swell is a weak 2 ft from the SW, with a long period of 14 seconds, but the energy is only moderate (124). That long period will give you some shape, but it’s small and the conditions are ordinary – just surfable. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SW at 6 mph, and it gets messy. Not your afternoon session.

Sunday, 13 September looks better in the morning – dead calm, glassy, with a 1 ft SW swell (81 energy). Again, long-period (13 sec), so the waves will be clean but tiny. The afternoon turns to onshore slop with that risk of storms.

Monday, 14 September offers another glassy start, but the swell drops to 0.7 ft from the SSW (74 energy). The period is a very long 19 seconds – classic groundswell, but there’s barely any height. That long period means it’ll be breaking straight at this beach-and-reef setup, so it’s not ideal. Afternoon turns onshore again.

Tuesday, 15 September through to Thursday, 17 September sees a slight bump in swell – around 2 ft from the SSW, with periods in the 14-18 second range. The energy climbs into the low 100s to nearly 200 (198 on Thursday morning), so there’s some moderate power, but it’s still small. The mornings are glassy with light winds (3 mph from the south), offering clean conditions. This is your best bet for a wave if you’re desperate – but it’s only for the dedicated, and the quality is ordinary.

From Friday, 18 September, it’s a real dry spell. The swell drops back to 1 ft, and the wind turns onshore or cross-shore for days. The energy falls to around 100 or less. Saturday, 19 September morning is glassy again, but with only 1 ft and 85 energy – it’s a tease. The afternoons are consistently poor.

There’s a little flutter on Sunday, 20 September morning – 1 ft from the SSW, period 19 seconds, energy 193 (moderate), and glassy wind. That’s about the best of the bunch, but it’s still tiny. The following week sees a mix of cross-winds, fresh breezes (19 mph from the WNW on Tuesday, 22 September – that’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle), and tiny swell. The morning of Friday, 25 September offers a glassy 2 ft from the SW, but the period is a short 6 seconds – weak and messy.

The last glimmer is Sunday, 27 September morning – 1 ft SW, 18 seconds, energy 130, glassy. Clean but small.

So, the standout? Honestly, there’s no big swell or epic session. The best on offer are those glassy mornings from 15-17 September and again on 20 September, where you get clean, long-period waves, but you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. For a true highlight, I’d point to the Thursday, 17 September morning – 2 ft from the SSW, 14-second period, moderate energy (198), and glassy. It’s the closest we get to a proper wave in this outlook, but it’s still a long way from pumping.

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.
