The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk shop in feet and knots, same story.
This run at Mocambique has some punch, but timing is everything. A lot of the bigger swells are gonna be blown out or just too meaty for a good time.
Tuesday morning, August 25th, is your best window. You’re looking at a 6ft south swell with a 13-second interval and glassy conditions – wind from the north-northwest at only 3 knots. The energy is 959, which is solid but not overwhelming. The water will be clean as a whistle. This is the session to circle. The afternoon gets cross-off and tougher.
Wednesday the 26th jumps up. Wave heights hit 7ft from the south-southeast with a very long 15-second period and energy of 1847. That’s too much for most on an exposed beach. Experts only, and even then it’s a handful. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll look pretty, but the size is the boss.
Thursday morning the 27th is your second shout. 6ft from the same direction, 14-second period, cross-off breeze from 15 knots north. Energy at 1141. Clean and powerful, still for the experienced crew.
Then there’s a lull from Friday the 28th through Monday the 31st. The swell goes short-period (8-9 seconds) and shifts to east-northeast. The energy drops below 500, the wind turns onshore or cross, and the quality is poor. Sunday the 30th has a 5ft east swell with a light west wind, but it’s weak and inconsistent. Not worth chasing.
Tuesday September 1st is a total mess. Strong south winds at 19 knots, lumpy and choppy, with an 8ft south swell that’s all power and no shape. That’s a kitesurf setup, not a surf setup.
Wednesday afternoon the 2nd is okay: 5ft south-southeast swell, 10-second period, cross-off breeze, 640 energy. It’s clean but average. Thursday morning the 3rd is small (3ft) but glassy with a light offshore wind – a fun little trim if you’re on the right board.
The second week shows some big numbers again from September 4th through 7th – 7ft to 8ft swells, but with short periods (7-9 seconds) and moderate energy. Sunday the 6th is glassy with a 7ft northeast swell, but the short period means it’ll be fat and hard to ride. It’s a long-range flicker.
Real talk: Tuesday morning August 25th is the one. Thursday the 27th is a solid second. Everything else needs a close eye and a bit of luck.

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.
