The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, but we’ve got a few windows that are worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The swell is coming in at 4ft from the ENE with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 246, so it’s not a massive day, but the wind is dead glassy. That’s the major positive here – clean, smooth conditions for a decent intermediate wave. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit. The break is fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, so it should be reeling.
Thursday the 23rd is a write-off – the wind swings onshore and the swell gets messy and lumpy, so stay on the beach. Friday the 24th is a bit of a sleeper. The morning is marginal with a bit of onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans right up. By Friday afternoon, we’ve got glassy conditions and a solid 6ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 730 (moderate-to-strong). That’s a standout session for the confident intermediate surfer, with clean, lined-up waves.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th both have clean morning windows, with the swell easing a bit but still offering 5ft and 4ft respectively from the SE. The wind is light and offshore or glassy, making for some really tidy surf. Saturday morning especially is a good call for the early crew.
The swell drops off through the start of the following week, with waves under 3ft and not much punch. It’s surfable but ordinary, and you’ll be scratching around for a ride. The best of the second week looks like Wednesday the 5th of August, with a clean 4ft ESE swell and a glassy morning, and then Thursday the 6th of August, with 4ft from the ESE and glassy conditions again in the afternoon. The energy is light (221), but the clean conditions make it fun for a longboard or a groveler.
The real standout? Lock in Friday afternoon, the 24th of July. That’s the best combo of size, clean conditions, and wave quality. The other tip is Saturday morning, the 25th of July – just as clean, a touch smaller but still very good.
No major gaps of dead days, but the middle of the second week (around the 29th to 31st of July) is very weak. Crowds are possible at Mocambique, so get in early for the best of it.
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.
