The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Mocambique over the next sixteen days.

The start is a bit patchy. Sunday the 26th of July has some 3ft S swell with a 12 second period, moderate energy (364), and a cross-off NNW breeze at 9 mph – clean enough. Water temp is 64°, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year. Later in the day there’s a 3ft ESE swell but with a short 8 second period, so it’s weak.

Monday the 27th is small – 3ft from the ESE, short period, light wind, nothing special. Tuesday the 28th morning is tiny, but Tuesday afternoon the wind goes dead calm from the ENE, and there’s a 4ft NE swell – period is only 6 seconds, so it’s fat, but that glassy surface makes it fun for a small wave session. That’s the best of the early week.

Wednesday the 29th has some glassy conditions with a 2ft S swell, period 11 seconds – very ordinary. From Thursday the 30th through to Saturday the 1st of August, it’s mostly poor – onshore winds, small swell, or both. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 3rd of August brings a change. Morning is glassy calm, 4ft S swell at 10 seconds, energy back up to 364. Clean and small, a good cruisy session. The real standout is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning has 6ft from the ENE, 8 second period, cross-off N wind at 9 mph, and strong energy at 554. That’s proper. By afternoon it’s 7ft from the ENE – too big for this spot unless you’re an expert. That Wednesday morning is the best of the whole run.

Thursday the 6th is messy with onshore wind and a 7ft S swell – looks more like a kite session. Friday the 7th is clean but windy, with 4ft ENE swell. The weekend of the 8th and 9th of August sees the swell drop back under 3ft from the ENE – clean but small.

Bottom line: Wednesday morning the 5th of August is the one – 6ft ENE, clean, strong energy. Tuesday afternoon the 28th of July is a distant second for a glassy small wave day. The rest is either average or flat. Keep your eyes on that Wednesday.

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.
