Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, Sunday morning kicks things off with some solid energy. We’ve got a 6.2ft SSE swell rolling in with an 11-second period, and the water is sitting at 62.6°, which is a solid 3.8° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so you’ll want a good steamer. The early session is glassy, dead calm, and the combined energy is moderate at 917. This is about as clean as it gets, and it’s going to be a joy out there. The swell is a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but for intermediates and above, Sunday morning is a true standout.
Sunday afternoon stays clean too, with a light cross-off breeze and the swell dropping slightly to 5.9ft. The energy is still solid at 763. Monday sees the swell dropping back to 4.3ft, still with a clean-ish cross-off wind, but the energy is fading (552). Things get a bit messy from Tuesday through to Thursday with onshore winds and smaller, shorter-period swell, so the quality takes a hit.
Now, keep your eye on Saturday the 11th of July. That morning we get a proper pulse of groundswell – 3.6ft from the SSE, but with a very long 15-second period. The energy jumps right up to 1141, which is strong, and conditions are clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is a long-period swell, so at Mocambique, being an exposed spot, it should wrap in nicely. That afternoon gets even better: 5.2ft swell, 13-second period, and energy at 1225. The setup is excellent for experienced surfers. If you can handle a bit of weight, this is your session.
The following Sunday the 12th of July is another beauty. Glassy early with a 4.6ft SSE swell and 12-second period, energy at 898. Very good surf conditions again, and the afternoon holds up with 5.2ft and a clean cross-off breeze.
Things quieten down through the middle of the week, with small, weak swell and some onshore winds. There’s a bit of a lull from the 13th to the 16th, but then Friday the 17th of July picks up again. Friday morning is glassy with a small 3.0ft S swell, but the real news is Friday afternoon when a 4.9ft S swell rolls in with offshore wind – clean conditions and moderate energy at 393.
Saturday the 18th of July could be a big one, but there’s a catch. The morning shows 6.9ft of S swell, which is too big for this break – the forecast specifically says the swell is predicted to be too big. That’s expert territory only, and even then, it’s a short 7-second period, so it might be a bit lumpy. The afternoon drops to 6.6ft and cleans up a little with a cross-off breeze.
Looking further out, Sunday the 19th of July has a solid 4.9ft S swell with an 11-second period and a clean cross-off wind in the morning – energy at 603, very good conditions. But the standout in the second week is Monday the 20th of July. Early morning, 5.2ft SSE swell with a very long 14-second period, energy at 1062, and clean with a slight offshore breeze. This is an excellent session for experienced surfers. The afternoon is also very good with 5.2ft and a 13-second period.
So, to wrap it up: your absolute best bets are Sunday the 5th of July morning for that glassy, clean, moderate-sized swell, and Saturday the 11th of July for the long-period groundswell with strong energy. The water is colder than usual, so don’t forget a hood.
Stay safe, and I’ll see you in the lineup.

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.
