Mocambique Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real potential hiding in the second week. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with messy, cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, but things clean up nicely as we head into the end of the month and into August.

The standout window is definitely the 3rd and 4th of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 5ft to 6ft swell from the SSE, with a period around 10 seconds, and clean, offshore to cross-offshore winds. The energy is strong, with combined swell energy readings of 544 to 650, so there’s plenty of push. Mocambique is an exposed, fairly consistent intermediate break, and with those clean conditions, it’s going to be firing. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 63°F, about 3°F below average, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

The 5th of August also has some serious size, with 8ft from the ESE and clean conditions, but that’s getting into expert-only territory. It’s going to be a big, powerful wave, and the forecast suggests it might be too much for the break itself. Keep an eye on it, but only if you’ve got the skills and the board for it.

Before that, the 25th of July has a small window of clean surf on Saturday morning – 5ft from the SE, light offshore winds, and a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 401. It’s a decent option if you’re keen for a session, but it’s not the main event. The 26th of July has some smaller, longer-period groundswell (3ft to 3ft from the S at 12 seconds) with clean winds, but it’s on the smaller side. The long period means it’ll be more lined up at the point, but don’t expect much power.

From the 27th to the 30th of July, it’s mostly small and ordinary – 1ft to 3ft of swell, with some glassy mornings but very little energy. The 30th gets a bit bigger but with choppy cross-onshore winds, so that’s a skip.

The 1st of August afternoon shows a nice little spike – 4ft from the S at 11 seconds, with glassy conditions and combined energy of 335. That’s a sneaky good session. The 2nd of August has a similar vibe, with 4ft to 4ft from the S but a short period of 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit lumpy and less organised.

The 6th and 7th of August round things out with clean conditions and 6ft to 6ft from the ENE. The 6th morning is glassy, which is a treat, but the swell period is a bit short (8-9 seconds), so it’s not the deepest groundswell. Still, clean surf at that size is always worth a look.

Overall, there’s a bit of a quiet patch in the first week, but the second week fires up nicely. The 3rd and 4th of August are your best bets – solid swell, clean winds, and plenty of energy. Don’t sleep on the 1st of August afternoon either, if you want a glassy session with a bit of push.

Rusty, signing off.
