The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Mocambique.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The start of the period is pretty grim with poor surf conditions through Monday afternoon the 10th, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. Things start to turn around on Tuesday the 11th.
Tuesday morning the 11th is still a little marginal with a cross-on breeze, but by Tuesday afternoon the wind goes glassy with a little bit of light rain. That’s the signal things are coming good. We see clean 6ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period rolling in and very good conditions on the cards.
The real standout window kicks off on Thursday morning the 13th. This is the best of the lot. We’ve got glassy, clear skies and a solid 6ft groundswell from the SSE, with a very long 14-second period and strong wave energy (1256). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The water temperature sits at 66° which is about average for this time of year.
This clean stretch runs through the end of the week. Friday the 14th is another cracker – morning offshores with 6ft from the SSE, long period at 13 seconds, and strong wave energy (1128). The afternoon holds too, staying clean with a light cross-off breeze.
Over the weekend the swell drops right off. Saturday the 15th has a small window in the morning with waist-high 4ft surf and light offshore winds, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Sunday the 16th brings in a short-period 8-second chop from the ESE at just over 4ft.
The following week sees a bit of life again. Tuesday the 18th morning has a glassy 7ft swell but with a short, weak period of 7 seconds, so it’s more of a walled-up closeout than proper waves. Worth a check if you’re desperate, but don’t expect your best session.
The next real highlight comes right at the end of the window. Tuesday the 25th afternoon shows up in the forecast with a whopping 7ft swell from the SSE backed by a 14-second period and extreme wave energy (1985). The winds go glassy. However, the model is saying that this much power might be too big for this break, so keep that in mind—it’s promising but less certain this far out and more for the experts if it cranks.
Stay stoked, and keep an eye on that last call.
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.
