The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out the swell window for Mocambique.

We’re kicking things off on Tuesday, July 14th, and it’s a ripper. The water temp is 61°, which is a solid 5° chillier than normal, so don’t forget the thick rubber. The best day is that Tuesday. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell out of the SE with a 10-second period, packing a good punch (combined energy of 610). The wind is a light cross-off, leaving the surface glassy. It’s a fun size, not too big for intermediates, but it’ll get you moving. The swell direction is right on the money. Crowds are possible, so expect a few heads.

Wednesday morning, July 15th, settles into a 5ft swell from the SE, still with a nice 10-second interval, and the wind goes offshore from the NNW. That’s clean and inviting.

The middle of the week gets a bit smaller, with Thursday and Friday seeing swells around 3ft and 3ft, and the wind picking up. It’s still surfable, but not the highlight. Then Saturday morning, July 18th, brings back a 6ft swell from the ENE, with a shorter 8-second period. The wind is a gentle cross-off, and the energy is solid (522). A good morning for a session.

We hit a bit of a rough patch around July 19th and 20th with onshore breezes, but then things get really interesting. On Thursday, July 23rd, a 5ft groundswell from the SSE rolls in with a very long 12-second period. The wind is glassy in the morning – dead calm – and the water is clean. The energy is a strong 808. This is proper, long-lined surf. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off.

Friday, July 24th, keeps the good vibes with a 4ft SSE swell, still a long 11-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is still high (562). Just a beautiful morning in the water.

The final week has a few more pulses, like Saturday, July 25th, with a 6ft ENE swell and decent energy (566), but the wind is a bit more noticeable. The real standout is the glassy, long-period swell on the 23rd – that’s your day to paddle out.

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.
