Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mocambique over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Mocambique.
We’ve got some good days mixed in with some rough ones. The first few days bring solid, clean surf, and there's a real standout session in the middle of the week. The water is sitting at 60°, which is way colder than usual—over 5° below average for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit and maybe booties.
Saturday, July 11 starts us off with a light breeze and clean 5ft swell from the ESE at 13 seconds out of the north. That’s a nice groundswell with moderate energy (709). It’s clean and side-offshore. Afternoon drops to 3ft but stays clean. Good kickoff.
Sunday, July 12 has 4ft from the ESE, but the morning wind goes light cross-shore, making it a bit bumpy. Afternoon gets choppy with strong cross-onshore wind at 15 mph from the south—time to stay on the sand or grab a kite. That session is a dud.
Monday, July 13 is rough. Swell bumps to 6ft but it’s short-period, 8 seconds, and cross-onshore wind. Messy and weak (530 combined energy). Not worth it.
Now, Tuesday, July 14 is the standout. Morning is glassy with a 4ft ESE groundswell at 12 seconds—that’s going to be buttery. Afternoon gets even better: 7ft from the SE at 10 seconds with a light cross-off breeze. Combined energy hits 865. That size is great for intermediates but not too big, and the wind is clean. The swell direction lines up perfectly with the optimum. This is your session.
Wednesday, July 15 morning gives us 7ft from the ESE at 11 seconds and clean cross-off wind, but tide might be a factor. Still good. Thursday, July 16 morning cleans up again with 5ft ESE at 12 seconds and offshore wind from the NNW. That long period groundswell loves a point or reef.
From Friday, July 17 through Monday, July 20, it drops to smaller 4ft–5ft ENE swell with a short 8-second period. Wind stays clean and side-offshore, so it's fun on a longboard or hybrid, but energy drops to the 200–300 range. Nothing special.
Tuesday, July 21 and Wednesday, July 22 mornings offer similar clean 5ft–5ft ENE swell. Wednesday morning actually looks best that week with light offshore wind and a bit more energy at 470.
Thursday, July 23 gets ugly—rain showers, strong onshore wind at 15 mph from the south, and only 3ft of junk. Skip it.
Friday, July 24 is still messy with moderate rain and cross-onshore wind—avoid.
Then Saturday, July 25 brings a nice finish: glassy morning with 4ft south swell at 10 seconds, and a clean afternoon with light wind. Energy is moderate at 458. A quiet, fun session to wrap things up.
Sunday, July 26 ends with choppy onshore conditions—6ft from the ENE at 7 seconds but strong south wind makes it a kite day, not a paddle day.
Bottom line: Tuesday, July 14 is the one to target. Morning glass or the afternoon clean 7ft—both are winners. The second week is smaller and less consistent, but Saturday, July 25 could surprise you with glassy conditions.
Stay stoked.
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.
Mocambique is 12 km (7 miles) from Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
