G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down the surf ahead for Mocambique.
We start proper on Sunday 5 July. There’s a solid SSE swell running 6ft with an 11-second period. Morning is glassy – dead calm – and the water’s 63°, which is a solid few degrees colder than usual, so you’ll want a thick suit. The combined swell energy is moderate at 917. The morning window is the early standout: clean, glassy, and a good 6ft SSE. Afternoon holds 6ft with light NE cross-off winds keeping it tidy. That’s your best bet to start.
Monday 6 July drops to 4ft SSE in the morning with a 10-second period and cross-off winds. Energy backs off to 552. Afternoon goes smaller to 4ft. Tuesday sees a shift to a shorter S swell (8 seconds) – morning is a bit messy with cross-on wind, but Tuesday afternoon turns glassy again with clear skies and 4ft of S swell. Nice clean little session, even if the swell is weaker.
Wednesday 8 July is clean but small – 3ft S swell with 10-11 second periods, offshore and cross-off winds all day. Energy is modest. Thursday 9 July fades further to 3ft ESE and light cross-off – running out of steam. From Friday 10 July through Saturday 11 July morning, it’s flat and poor – small ESE swell around 2-3ft with cross or onshore winds. Not worth suiting up.
But Saturday 11 July afternoon is a sneaky one: glassy, 3ft of ESE swell but the period stretches to 13 seconds – real long-period groundswell. Energy is moderate at 526. Good for a point or reef if you can find the bank.
Sunday 12 July is the real standout. Morning serves up 6ft SSE with a 12-second period, light offshore NW wind, and combined energy of 1757 – strong. Afternoon holds 5ft with cross-off winds. This is your best day: solid, clean, excellent for experienced surfers. One to circle.
Monday 13 July drops back to 3ft with cross winds. Tuesday 14 July has 4ft of SSE but short period (8-9 seconds) – just okay. Wednesday 15 July is a write-off: 35 km/h south winds and lumpy. Thursday 16 July is poor too. Friday 17 July afternoon shows hope: 4ft SSE with a 10-second period, glassy – that’s a decent late-week session.
Saturday 18 July morning has 3ft of SSE but a long 15-second period – clean but the long period might make it a bit straight on the beach, better on a point. Afternoon gets bigger to 6ft but onshore wind ruins it.
Sunday 19 July is a beast: 10ft SSE at 17 seconds – huge energy at 4874 – but it’s flagged as too big for this break, and the wind is cross-on. Expert stuff only, and even then it might be more for kites. Monday 20 July morning has 8ft with 14 seconds and glassy – again, too big for most, but if you’re a charger it could be epic. Afternoon drops to 7ft SSE with cross-off winds and clean – that’s a second standout for strong surfers, with energy at 1366.
So highlights: Sunday 12 July is the champ – solid 6-5ft SSE, clean, strong. Saturday 11 July afternoon is a tidy glassy sleeper. And if you’re an expert, Monday 20 July afternoon offers a big clean swell that’s still manageable.
Signing off – 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.
Mocambique is 12 km (7 miles) from Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
