The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here, let’s break down what Mocambique has in store for the next couple weeks.
We’ve got some decent waves on the cards, but this forecast is a real mixed bag. Water temp is about 65°F, pretty much dead average for now.
Thursday the 10th starts us off clean. Morning glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze out of the NW at only 3 mph. Swell is around 4ft from the ENE, with moderate energy. That Thursday morning is your first real window. Thursday afternoon fades fast.
Friday the 11th morning looks alright too, similar 4ft ENE swell, light cross-off wind keeping it tidy. Friday afternoon holds up decent. Good day to get wet.
Then it gets rough. From Saturday the 12th through the end of the week, strong winds and lumpy junk take over. Saturday has 8ft southerly swell but with 18 mph cross-onshore winds – total mess. Combined energy is high, but that’s kite-surf territory, not paddling. Sunday and Monday are onshore slop. Skip it.
But Tuesday the 15th morning – that’s the real standout. Glassy conditions, wind barely a whisper from the SW at 3 mph. Swell is 7ft from the east, with strong energy. That’s some proper punch. Clean, powerful, and likely some nice shape. Beginners might find it a bit much at that size, but for any intermediate or above, that’s the session to circle. Tuesday afternoon goes back to choppy nonsense though.
Another window opens Friday the 18th morning. Swell is 4ft from the south, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s real groundswell. Combined energy is solid, and we’ve got a light cross-off breeze. That long period means better shape, but at a beach break it might run a bit straight. Good for guys who know the bank. Saturday the 19th also has a tiny, clean 3ft SSE swell with a 14-second period – pretty but not much grunt.
The last bit of hope is Friday the 25th morning, with 5ft ENE swell and a light cross-off breeze. Nothing huge, but clean and rideable.
So the takeaway: the absolute best of the whole run is Tuesday the 15th, morning session. Glassy, 7ft easterly swell, heaps of energy – that’s the one to clear your schedule for. Backup is Friday the 18th morning for some long-period groundswell. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too messy. There are long gaps between the good days, but when it’s good, it’s worth the wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Mocambique Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mocambique provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mocambique can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mocambique 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 (Mocambique) 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 Mocambique 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.
