Righto, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's cookin' for Mocambique. It's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are definitely some windows to get wet.
The water's sitting at a chilly 60°F right now, which is a whopping 6°F colder than what you'd expect for this time of year. That's seriously unusual, so you'll be wanting a decent steamer, no doubt.
We've got a bit of a wait on our hands, though. Sunday and Monday are a write-off – dodgy conditions, cross-on winds, and just all-round poor surf. The wait's on for a proper session.
Tuesday the 14th of July is where things start to look real good. Tuesday morning is a standout: glassy conditions with a clean 6ft swell from the southeast. The energy's moderate at 654, and the period's a solid 10 seconds. That's a cracking combination. Tuesday afternoon holds up too, with clean cross-off winds and the same size and direction.
Wednesday the 15th carries that clean cross-off wind into the morning, with a 6ft ESE swell. It's another really good session on offer. The energy dips a little through the day though.
After that, the week runs into a bit of a lull with smaller, cleaner but less powerful waves. There's nothing really firing until we get to Monday the 20th. Monday morning brings offshore winds from the northwest and a clean 5ft swell from the east-northeast. It's a good, clean option.
Tuesday the 21st is worth a mention too. Glassy in the morning with a 5ft NE swell and clean in the arvo. Good, solid conditions.
The following week gets a bit average again until Friday the 24th. Friday afternoon looks clean with a little 3ft swell from the south – a small, tidy option for the log.
The absolute standout from this entire outlook has to be Tuesday the 14th of July at Mocambique. That glassy morning with a solid 6ft SE groundswell and long 10-second period is the pick of the bunch. It's clean, it's got some push, and the wave energy (654) is right in the sweet spot. It's an exposed break, so it'll pick up that swell nicely. Just be aware it can get a crowd *sometimes*, so get in early.
After the 14th, Wednesday morning the 15th is your next best bet. Clean again with a 6ft ESE swell.
Beyond that, there's a long gap after the 15th. Things get pretty low-energy and messy. We do get a couple of tidy sessions on the 20th and 21st, but not with the same power. From the 25th onwards, it's mostly small and ordinary, with only a tiny clean window on the 27th.
Stay safe, keep warm, and I'll catch you in the water.
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.
