The Lowdown
Alright, I’m lookin’ at the next 16 days for Mocambique, and I’ll be straight with you.
The first week, from Tuesday the 1st through Monday the 7th, is a real grind. There’s some swell, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the ocean’s a mess of chop and lumps. The wave energy is weak to moderate (276 to 660), but it ain’t worth paddlin’ out for. You’re better off stayin’ dry.
The big change comes on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. That’s our window. We’ve got a glassy morning – wind from the ESE at just 3 mph – and a solid 6 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy is moderate (736). It’s gonna be clean, smooth, and the swell direction is right where we want it. This is the best look of the whole 16 days.
Wednesday the 9th is still good, but a little smaller. Morning has offshore wind from the NW at 3 mph, with a 4 ft SSE swell, and the afternoon is clean with cross-offshore winds. Two solid days.
Then from Thursday the 10th to Sunday the 13th, it gets too big for Mocambique. We’re talkin’ 7 ft to 8 ft, with the energy jumpin’ from 633 to a massive 2708. The wind is good, but the size is just too much for this spot. Experts only. It’s gonna be a heavy, powerful beast.
The last few days, Monday the 14th to Wednesday the 16th, the swell drops. Monday still has some size (6 ft to 7 ft) but the wind is onshore and messy. Tuesday and Wednesday are smaller, with periods of 11-12 seconds, but the wind is light. It’s not a total loss, but it’s nowhere near the quality of the 8th and 9th.
So, if you’re pickin’ your days, it’s all about Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th. That glassy morning on the 8th is the one to circle. The rest is either blown out, too big, or just average.
Rusty out.

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.
