The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and I’ll walk you through the next 16 days for Mocambique.

First up, the water’s sitting at 66°F with the temp anomaly basically flat, so it’s about what you’d expect for this time of year. Doesn’t feel off.

We kick off Saturday, August 1st with a tiny ENE swell around 3ft, period a short 6 seconds, and weak energy (121). The wind is cross-off from the NNW, so it’s clean enough for a splash, but the wave quality is just ordinary. It’s a slow start. Sunday and Monday look similar – small, short period, nothing to get excited about. The whole early week is a bit of a flat spell with only so-so conditions.

Tuesday, August 4th, things start to shift. The swell swings to the South, with a longer 11-12 second period and moderate energy (243-307). Winds are light cross-off from the N, keeping it clean. The waves are small (2-3ft) but the improved period means better shape. It’s surfable, but still not a standout.

Now, Wednesday August 5th gives us a glassy afternoon session with a light ENE breeze and a tiny SSE swell. It’s clean, but weak. The real change comes in on Friday, August 7th. The morning sees a building 7ft S swell (7 seconds, 500 energy) but the wind is cross-off from the NNW, keeping it clean.

The standout of the forecast is the stretch from Saturday, August 8th through Monday, August 9th. Saturday morning has a 4ft S swell with a 9-second period, light offshore NW wind, and building energy (300). By Saturday afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft at 10 seconds from the S, with light N cross-off wind and solid energy (549). Sunday, August 9th morning is the best: a clean 7ft South swell at 10 seconds, offshore WNW wind, and very strong energy (848). That’s your best window for quality waves – clean, good size, and good shape. However, Sunday afternoon turns ugly with a 30 km/h S cross-on that will chop it up.

The rest of the second week is a mixed bag. Monday August 10th is onshore and messy. Tuesday August 11th has a big 8ft S swell with a long 14-second period and massive energy (2048), but it’s likely too big for this spot. The wind is cross-off, but the swell is in the expert-only zone. Wednesday and Thursday improve slightly with cleaner conditions and smaller swells, but nothing that matches the Sunday morning window.

The final days (August 15-16) see another big pulse – 10ft S swells with very high energy (1500-1614). Again, these are too big for Mocambique and better left for the experts.

So, bottom line: the best surf is on Saturday, August 8th afternoon and Sunday, August 9th morning. Get it while it’s clean and solid. The rest is either small, windy, or too big.

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.
