Mocambique Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break this down.

Okay, so for Mocambique, there’s a bit of a quiet start before some solid surf arrives. The first good window lines up toward the end of the week. We’ve got a decent run not far out.

Tuesday the 11th is just a tease. We’ve got some chest-high Southerly swell at 6ft, but it's a bit messy in the morning with a cross-on breeze. The afternoon cleans right up though – glassy conditions with 6ft from the South. It’s surfable, but not the main event.

Wednesday the 12th picks up the pace. Morning brings a solid 6ft from the SSE with a clean cross-off wind. Wave energy is moderate (993). The wind stiffens in the arvo but stays clean. This is where it starts to feel like we’re onto something.

Thursday the 13th is a write-off. Cross-onshore winds and fair chop spoil the party. Just a paddling workout.

Now, Friday the 14th is where it’s at. The morning gets a crisp NNE cross-off breeze, light, and a solid 6ft SSE swell with a nice 13-second period – real groundswell energy (1086). The forecast is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. This is your standout. The waves will have proper shape and push. Get on it. The afternoon is just as good with 6ft and clean conditions.

Saturday the 15th drops off a bit. Swell backs down to 4ft in the morning with offshore breezes making it clean. It’s an easy session, but nothing to get frantic about.

After that, we enter a real flat patch. Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 19th is mostly small, short-period, and onshore. A full four days of meh. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.

Here’s a long-range glimmer: Thursday the 20th morning. The data shows an 8ft Southerly swell (1821 energy) but with a caveat – that size is pushing the limits for this spot, maybe too big and a bit raw. Strong, but for confident surfers only.

Sunday the 23rd offers a tiny 3ft glassy morning, but the period is a short 6 seconds. Just dribble.

The real sneaky long-range call is Monday the 24th afternoon. A surprise 4ft Southerly swell with a *very long* 18-second period (1082 energy). That’s proper groundswell energy, but at Mocambique, that long period might make it break a little straight. Still, it’s something to watch.

Finally, Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th look promising again. Tuesday has a solid 8ft SSE swell (over 2200 energy) but again, the data flags it as potentially too big for the break. Wednesday the 26th morning brings it back to a more manageable 6ft SSE with offshore winds – excellent conditions for experienced surfers. A good one for the diary.

Overall, if you can only pick one window, it’s Friday the 14th. Clean, solid South swell, light winds – that’s the one. The second week has some big, powerful swells, but you’ll need to pick your moment and watch the size.
