The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk surf. It's a bit of a slow start, I won't lie. The first few days are flat and messy. There's a weak, short-period swell on Monday morning, maybe 4ft, and it's clean with light rain and no wind. Water temp is about 67°, pretty normal for this time of year. But it's just not doing much.
The rest of the week is mostly a write-off with onshore winds chopping up the small surf. We get a bit of a break on Thursday morning though. That offshore wind is going to clean things up, and we'll see waist-to-shoulder-high waves from the southeast with a longer period. That'll be the pick of the week, a little gem.
But then it gets ugly again. The weekend into early next week is blown out, and the swell gets bigger but ugly. Monday the 7th sees some serious size, up to 8ft with a strong period, but the cross-onshore wind will make it a mess. That's not for paddle surfing. The bigger day is Thursday the 10th, with waves potentially well overhead and strong energy. The forecast says it might be too big for this spot, so that's expert-only territory.
Now for the real standout. You have to wait for Saturday the 12th. The wind dies completely, leaving a glassy surface, and there's a clean, shoulder-high swell from the east. It's a moderate amount of energy, but that glassy surface will make it the cleanest, most fun surf of the whole forecast. Circle that date.
After that, the wind picks up again and it fades out to small, weak surf. So, get on it Thursday morning or, if you can wait, make the most of Saturday. Rusty, out.

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.
