Righto, let’s get into it for Mocambique. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way over the next couple of weeks, so I’ll walk you through the story.

The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Friday the 3rd is a no-go – cross-on southerly wind with a messy 10 ft swell and a shocking energy reading (1444). The water is sitting at 62°, which is a good 5° colder than average for this time of year – that’s properly nippy. You’d battle for a clean one. Saturday the 4th isn’t much better; the swell drops a bit but still sits over 6 ft with cross-on wind, so the quality’s not there.

Sunday the 5th is where things start to turn. Morning brings glassy conditions as the wind swings NW at just 3 mph, with a clean 6 ft swell from the SSE at 11 seconds. The energy drops to a more manageable 882, but the glassy surface and clean lines make it a solid session. By Monday the 6th, we’ve got offshore NNW wind at 9 mph, pushing into a 4 ft SSE swell – clean and fun, nothing too heavy.

There’s a big gap of average-to-poor conditions from Tuesday the 7th right through to Saturday the 11th. Most of that is small, messy, or onshore. Sunday the 12th sees a spike in energy (1138) but it’s a choppy 7 ft south swell with cross-on wind – better left for the kites.

Now, the standout window arrives on Saturday the 18th. That morning is the pick of the whole forecast: a 6 ft swell from the SSE with a very long 15-second period, clean cross-off wind from the north at only 6 mph, and a massive 1480 energy reading. That’s proper groundswell, and with those long-period lines, the reefs and points will hold the shape beautifully. It’s an expert-only kind of day – the power and size will be too much for learners. The crowd situation is listed as “sometimes,” so you might not have it to yourself, but it’s worth the company.

The earlier window on Thursday the 16th afternoon also looks excellent for experienced surfers: 6 ft south swell, 12 seconds, with light cross-off northerly wind and 1036 energy. Clean and punchy.

The real highlight, though, is that Saturday the 18th. Mark it in your calendar. The rest of the second week has some okay options, but nothing that touches that morning.

Alright, until next time – keep your wax warm and your wits sharp.

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.
