Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mocambique over the next 16 days.
Right, look here, surf's finally on the radar at Mocambique. It's been a bit of a flat spell, but we've got a solid window of waves coming through, especially in the mornings. The water's sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick things off Sunday morning, July 12th. It's small but clean, with an ESE swell running 4ft at a long 12 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and with the wind glassy out of the SW, it's going to be smooth. The combined energy's moderate at 713, so there's some punch for the size. This is a good start, but it's just the appetiser.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, July 14th. We're looking at a 7ft SE swell, 10-second period, and with a WSW wind that's glassy again, the conditions will be pristine. The energy's bumped up to 782 (moderate), and while the swell's getting a bit solid, it's still manageable for intermediates. This is the pick of the first week—clean, punchy, and uncrowded if you're early.
Through the rest of the week, the mornings generally hold cleaner conditions with cross-off winds, though the swell drops a bit. Wednesday morning, July 15th, has a 6ft ESE swell (754 energy) and is worth an early paddle. By Thursday and Friday, the swell direction swings around to NE/ENE with shorter 8-second periods, meaning the waves will be a bit more crumbly and less consistent.
Heading into the second week, from Monday July 20th onward, the pattern settles into smaller, cleaner morning surf, around 4ft to 5ft from the ENE with 8-second periods. The energy drops under 400, so it's fun, mellow longboard waves, but nothing to get too worked up about.
Then we get a late wildcard. Saturday morning, July 25th, sees a new S swell pulse arrive. It's 5ft but with a long 11-second period and a promising 652 energy. Winds are light and cross-off. This could be really good, but it's a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.
Sunday morning, July 26th, is another one to watch—a 4ft S swell with a stellar 11-second period, glassy calm winds, and energy at 655. If that holds, it'll be a beauty, but it's a long-range call.
Overall, you've got a decent run here. The best session is Tuesday morning, July 14th—go get it. The week two S swells are promising but less certain. Don't sleep on those early starts.
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.
