Mocambique Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's cookin' down at Mocambique for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the surf kicks in this Saturday, the 4th of July, but it's not exactly friendly. We've got a big, powerful S swell rolling in with heaps of energy (2218), pushing sets to about 8ft. That's expert territory and honestly, the cross-on wind is gonna make it a messy, lumpy beast. Not the place to be unless you're a seasoned charger.

The real standout, the one we've all been waiting for, hits on Sunday morning, the 5th of July. The swell drops back to a more manageable 6ft from the SSE, but the magic is in the wind – dead glassy, pure WNW offshore. Combined with a solid 11-second period, the conditions are lining up for a dream session. Expect very good, clean waves. It's an exposed spot so it'll be pulling in that energy nicely. Just a heads up, crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Monday the 6th still offers clean, cross-off winds and dropping swell around 4ft to 4ft from the SSE/SE. It’s fun, smaller surf for the intermediates out there, but the real fire from Sunday is gone.

We hit a lull from Tuesday the 7th right through to Thursday the 10th of July. Swell drops below 3ft, and while we get some glassy moments on the 9th and 10th, the wave energy is weak (under 207). It's surfable but very ordinary.

After a poor, choppy Saturday the 11th, we get a brief window of clean, offshore winds on Sunday the 12th of July with 3ft ESE swell carrying a nice long 12-second period. The energy is low (318), but it'll be clean. A very small window for the patient longboarder.

The next real highlight? Wednesday the 15th of July. A new S swell builds to about 5ft, clean with NNW cross-off winds. Wave energy is moderate (552) and the forecast points to very good surf conditions. It won't be the size of the 5th, but it'll be a solid, clean session for the intermediate crew.

Thursday the 16th holds with similar size and a mix of offshore and glassy conditions, also worth a paddle.

Then, on Friday the 17th of July, another big pulse arrives. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE with a very long 14-second period. That's a serious groundswell, but the wind is a cross-on mess from the SSW, making it choppy and sloppy. Best left for the experts only, and even then, it won't be pretty.

The last call for decent waves comes on Saturday the 18th of July. Swell settles to 5ft from the SSE, still with that long 14-second period, but we get clean NNW offshore winds in the morning. Wave energy is high (946). This is a promising session, but being more than a week out, keep expectations in check.

After that, the swell turns onshore and becomes too big again on the 19th, so the window closes.

In a nutshell, mark your calendar for Sunday the 5th of July – that's the one to clear your schedule for. Wednesday the 15th and Saturday the 18th are solid backups, just less certain.

Keep an eye on it, and I'll see you in the water.
