The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first session worth paddling out for isn’t until Sunday morning, the 26th of July. Before that, it’s a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms and poor conditions on Saturday the 25th.
So, for the main event, the spot to keep your eyes on is Morro Negrito. This is a reef and point set-up that loves a good SW swell, and that’s exactly what we’ve got cooking. The water is sitting at a very warm 87°F, which is "much warmer than normal" for this time of year – you can definitely leave the thick wettie at home.
Now, the standout window for clean waves is the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. We’re looking at a moderate wave energy reading of 556 and a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell pushing in. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-offshore from the east, which is going to groom those faces nicely. This is the one you want to circle on the calendar – consistent, well-shaped, and with that point break offering some long rides off the long-period energy.
That Wednesday and Thursday mornings, the 29th and 30th, are also looking tidy with glassy conditions and the same 3 ft swell dropping to 2 ft, but the energy levels are a notch below that Tuesday peak.
After that, the surf starts to fade. From Friday the 31st right through to the 9th of August, it gets small and ordinary. The swell drops to the 1 ft to 2 ft range, and while there are a few glassy mornings, the wave energy sinks fast – down to around 47 in the middle of it. There is a little pulse of 2 ft showing up on the morning of Friday the 7th of August, but it’s nothing special.
So, to sum it up: Don’t bother with the first day. Get out for the morning sessions from Sunday the 26th through to Thursday the 30th, with Tuesday the 28th morning being the absolute pinnacle. After that, it’s a long stretch of small waves until the 9th of August, when a tiny 1 ft glassy morning might get you a fun little knee-high slide if you’re desperate.
Stay stoked, catch you in the lineup.

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.
