Mocambique Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the pipe at Mocambique.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but it’s not a straightforward pick. The first real standout for me is Saturday the 8th. We’re lookin’ at a nice 6ft south swell early, with a long, tasty 14-second period on it. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined swell energy is a meaty 1252 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some punch behind it. The wind is light and offshore out of the northwest, and that’s gonna keep it glassy and clean. This is one for the experienced crew though—6ft with that period is a proper session. The water’s sittin’ at 66°F, which is about normal for this time of year. Mocambique is exposed to the southeast, and this south swell is gonna wrap in nicely.

Saturday afternoon keeps the good times rollin’ with a bit smaller 5ft south swell, still that lovely 14-second period, and now the wind shifts to a clean offshore from the northwest. Same excellent quality. After that, Sunday the 9th gets messy real quick with a strong 16 mph south wind turnin’ the 8ft swell into a choppy cross-on mess. That one’s a write-off.

Now, if you’re patient, Tuesday the 11th afternoon is where it gets interestin’ again. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the south, still on a clean 12-second interval, and the wind goes *dead glass*. I’m talkin’ 3 mph from the south, glassy as a mirror. That’s a beautiful, clean window for a surfin’ session. The energy’s down a bit to 879 (moderate wave energy), but the quality is there.

The next one that catches my eye is Saturday the 15th. A bit smaller, 4ft south swell, 11-second period, and another glass-off in the morning with 3 mph north-northeast breeze. Clean as a whistle. That afternoon stays clean with a light offshore. A solid, cruisy day.

After that, the swell starts to fade and the winds get messy again. There’s a brief window on Friday the 21st afternoon where things clean up with a glassy 3ft easterly swell, but it’s small and short-period at 7 seconds. Not a standout, just a quiet session if you’re desperate.

The real prize of this whole 16-day window is Saturday the 8th and Tuesday the 11th afternoon. Saturday for the power and the classic groundswell, Tuesday for the absolute perfection of a glassy offshore window. Don’t sleep on either.

Rusty.
