The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple weeks. We got a slow start, but the back half of the run is where the real fun is. The first few days are gonna be a mess, with a junky southerly swell and strong cross-onshore winds. Gotta wait for the good stuff.
Water temp is about 67°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won't be needing a thick suit.
The first real chance to paddle out is on the morning of Tuesday the 8th. We've got a clean 4ft SSE swell with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The energy is moderate, and the crowd factor is a possibility, but for a Tuesday morning, it's a solid window. The afternoon stays clean with a 4ft SSE swell, but the wind swings cross-offshore. Wednesday morning the 9th is looking alright too, with a 5ft ENE swell and a clean cross-off, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit weaker.
The real standout for the first week, and the one to circle, is the afternoon of Thursday the 10th. The swell drops to 3ft, but it's a long-period 15-second groundswell from the south. The energy is solid (598), and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it's gonna be clean and lined up. This is a point or reef setup's dream—long, waiting sets with plenty of power.
After that, we get a few more clean, small days before the whole system gets blown out again from the 13th through the 16th with onshore winds and building, messy swell. That's a rough patch of several days.
Then, the second week delivers. The best on offer is the morning of Friday the 18th. We're looking at a 5ft S swell with a 12-second period, delivering a very clean face with a slight cross-offshore air from the WNW. The energy is solid (546). This is a glassy, clean morning session. The Saturday morning the 19th looks almost identical, with a 4ft S, 12-second swell and that same clean, light cross-off air. It's a fantastic run of clean surf.
Sunday the 20th is a bit of a monster. The swell jumps to 8ft from the ENE, but the forecast says it's too big for this break. For the average surfer, that's a no-go. For the experienced crew on the right equipment, it could be a beast, but it’s a big call.
All in all, the best bets are the afternoon of the 10th for some long, clean lines, and the mornings of the 18th and 19th for a classic, clean, fun-sized swell. Don't bother with the first week's trash.
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.
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.
