The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming days.
The opening stretch is a bit of a slow burn, with small, cleaner waves around on Tuesday and Wednesday, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The real standout is happening on Saturday the 8th of August. Mocambique is going to be firing. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the south, with a very long period of 14 seconds, and glassy conditions in the morning – that’s a recipe for clean, powerful, lined-up waves. The combined energy is a solid 1171, which is very strong, so this is only for the experienced crew. Expect a proper groundswell that will wrap in beautifully. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The rest of the first week is variable. Thursday morning the 6th has some offshore wind and a small 3ft ENE swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds. Friday the 7th morning has a bit more size at 4ft with offshore winds, before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon and trashes it.
After that Saturday highlight, Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th gets messy. A strong southerly wind pushes in, making conditions poor with onshore chop. The swell is still there, but it’s not worth paddling out in that.
Mid-week, we see a bit of a recovery. Wednesday the 12th afternoon is clean again with a 4ft south swell (436 combined energy), and Thursday the 13th morning has a fun 6ft from the NE, though the period is a short 6 seconds. Not a classic, but clean.
Looking further out, Saturday the 15th of August has another potential highlight. The early morning is glassy, with a 4ft south swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy is 566, so it’s moderate, but with zero wind and glassy conditions, it’ll be a dream to surf. The crystal ball gets a bit cloudy after that, with a mix of windy conditions and a big swell on Tuesday the 18th that might be too big for the break at 8ft, even with clean cross-off winds.
Best bet: hands down, Saturday the 8th of August morning at Mocambique. Get it while it’s good.
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.
