The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Morro Negrito.
Right off the bat, this is a slow run. The first week or so is all about small, clean conditions – not big, but if you’re on a log or a longboard, you’re in business. The standout mornings come with glassy conditions and a building swell. The local water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°F, so it’s feeling like bathwater out there.
The real pick of the day is Thursday, September 3rd in the morning. We’ve got a 1ft swell from the SW, clean and glassy, with very long period (20 seconds). That’s pure groundswell energy, and at Morro Negrito – a reef and point set-up – it’s going to peel nicely. The combined energy is moderate (218), but it’s the quality that’ll get you. This is a break that knows how to handle long period. Just keep in mind it’s for advanced surfers only.
The next best call is Friday, September 4th morning. Similar story: 2ft from the SW, period of 18 seconds, glassy as a mirror. Energy is building to a solid moderate (384). This is shaping up to be a classic small groundswell window on that point. No crowds expected, which is a rare bonus.
After that, the surf drops back. A few mornings around the 2ft mark with glassy wind are surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. The energy dips into the low hundreds or even below a hundred by the second weekend, and conditions get sloppy with afternoon storms and onshore breezes. The last few days – around the 13th to 15th of September – are weak, with combined energy barely scraping 98. For a spot that’s this consistent, a blank run like that is unusual, but it happens. Don’t hold your breath.
If you’re keen, aim for that sweet spot early in the month. After that, it’s a flat spell.
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.
