The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Mocambique is the only game in town, and it kicks off proper on Thursday morning, September 3rd. We’ve got a clean 5ft SE groundswell with an 11-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NNW. Water temp is 67°, right where it should be for the season. That morning is the best of the bunch. The combined energy is solid at 631 – moderate but enough to get you into some good ones. Just know crowds can pop up here sometimes.
After that, the wind turns and things go downhill fast. Thursday afternoon is a wash, and from Friday through the following Wednesday, it’s mostly cross-onshore junk. There’s a spike of 8ft on Sunday the 6th, but with southerly winds and a short 8-second period, it’s a messy, blown-out mess. Energy hits 726, but it’s not friendly.
We get another shot on Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th. Thursday the 10th morning has 7ft from the ENE with clean offshore wind – but at that size, it’s expert-only at this break. Friday the 11th morning is the real gem of the second week: 6ft from the east, 9-second period, and dead glassy with a 3 mph offshore. That’s the one to mark on your calendar.
After that, it’s onshores and chop for days. There’s a faint whisper of hope on Friday the 18th morning – glassy with 4ft from the ENE – but the energy is wimpy at 236, and it’s way out there. Don’t bank on it yet.
So, if you’re paddling out, Thursday the 3rd morning is your top pick. Friday the 11th morning is a promising look down the line. Everything else is either too windy, too big, or just not worth the drive. Stay tuned on that Friday the 11th.

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.
