The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Mocambique.
The window starts with a few scrappy sessions, but the real action kicks in from Saturday the 18th through to Monday the 20th. That’s where the standout lies – Monday morning looks prime.
Starting off, Wednesday the 15th is decent for a paddle: 5ft ENE groundswell (10 sec period) with light NNW winds keeping things clean. The water is 60° which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good wetsuit. The energy is moderate (455). Not world class, but it’s a nice warm-up.
Thursday the 16th drops off to 3ft, still clean enough but more of a longboard vibe. I’d wait.
Then we get a building pulse from Friday the 17th: 5ft ENE (8 sec) on Friday morning, getting better into Saturday the 18th with 7ft ENE (8 sec) and light offshore N winds – solid intermediate swell, moderate energy (557). Saturday afternoon gets a bit windier, so hit the dawn.
The highlight is Sunday the 19th morning. That 6ft NE swell (8 sec) is packing real punch: energy jumps to 862 (strong). Light N winds, clean, consistent waves. This is the best of the first week.
But hold on – Monday the 20th morning is the true standout. Glassy conditions, light SW wind at 3 mph, 7ft NE swell (8 sec) and energy hits 910. That’s clean, powerful, and begging to be surfed. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so an early paddle will pay off.
After Monday, the swell eases through Tuesday and Wednesday the 22nd gets poor with onshore winds. Thursday the 23rd has a tiny pulse of 3ft SSE groundswell with glassy conditions, worth a look if you’re desperate.
Then it goes quiet and messy until the next real window: Wednesday the 30th morning. The forecast shows a solid 6ft ENE swell (8 sec) with light offshore N winds and glassy conditions by the afternoon. Energy is strong (1049) – this is for experienced surfers as it pushes 6ft. Clean, punchy, and the best of the second week, though it’s over a week away so don’t lock it in just yet.
The last few days of July and into the 29th are a mix of smaller swells and messy wind, nothing to get excited about. The period from the 26th to 27th even sees 10ft S swell, but with cross-onshore winds and heavy energy (over 1200) – that’s blown-out and too big for this break. More for kites than paddles.
So in short: Sunday 19th morning and Monday 20th morning are your best bets. Glassy, clean, solid swell. Mark your calendar.

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.
