The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it’s a pretty mellow run ahead. We’ve got a consistent but small SW groundswell hanging around, but the real standout is the quality of the conditions – there are plenty of windows of glassy, clean surf, especially in the mornings. The energy is mostly in the moderate range, so don’t expect any of those epic, draining days, but for a quiet, soulful session, there’s some good stuff on the cards.
The first real opportunity is Monday morning, 3 August. Morro Negrito is showing a clean 2 ft swell from the SW with a long 14-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is 120 (moderate). It’s small, but it’s a classic reef and point set-up, and that long period will wrap in nicely. The wind is dead calm. This is the kind of morning where you can just sit out there and let the waves come to you. Tuesday morning, 4 August, is a carbon copy: 2 ft SW swell, 8-second period, glassy, combined energy 74 (moderate). Another solid, if small, window.
The afternoons are a write-off, with onshore winds and poor conditions. Stick to the mornings.
Things start to build a little by Friday morning, 7 August. We’ve got 1 ft SW swell, but the period has jumped to 18 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. Combined energy is 156 (moderate). The wind is light from the ESE, glassy. For a reef and point break like Morro Negrito, that long period is a treat. Expect long, clean lines, but with longer gaps between sets. Saturday morning, 8 August, has a bit more size at 2 ft, period 16 seconds, combined energy 209 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but the energy is picking up. Then Saturday afternoon, 8 August, is the real standout: 2 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, glassy conditions, and a combined energy of 223 (moderate). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best on offer – a rare afternoon window where the wind drops and the swell has a bit of push. Get on it.
Sunday, 9 August, through to Thursday, 13 August, is a bit of a flat spell with small 1 ft to 2 ft swells, but the mornings remain glassy. The energy dips and rises a bit, but it’s all small. The best of these is Sunday morning, 9 August: 2 ft, 14-second period, glassy, combined energy 153 (moderate).
Then, keep your eyes on the following Friday, 14 August. The morning looks excellent: 2 ft SW swell, 18-second period, dead calm, combined energy 202 (moderate). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s a big, long-period groundswell with glassy conditions at a reef and point. It’s a week and a half out, but it’s a promising one. The Saturday morning, 15 August, is solid too: 2 ft, 16-second period, glassy, combined energy 198 (moderate). The Sunday, 16 August, and Monday, 17 August, mornings are also worth a look, but the energy starts to drop back into the low 100s.
A few notes: Morro Negrito is a consistent advanced-level reef and point break. It’s exposed to the SW, which is the optimum direction, and it often gets crowded, so be prepared to share the lineup. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The biggest gap is the stretch from Sunday afternoon, 9 August, right through to Thursday afternoon, 13 August – that’s a lot of days with no real standout surf, just small, ordinary morning sessions. The second week is a bit more punctuated, with those Friday and Saturday mornings being the real highlights.
Stay stoked, and remember – the early bird gets the glassy waves.

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.
