Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mocambique over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Mocambique. Friday morning, July 10th, kicks off with a tiny 2ft ESE swell – barely a ripple, not worth wetting the suit. The real deal starts Saturday morning, July 11th: solid 5ft ESE groundswell with a 13-second period, cross-off breeze, and combined energy reading 709 (moderate). Water temp is down around 61°, which is more than 6° colder than usual for July, so bring the thick rubber.
Saturday morning, July 11th, is the one to circle. That 5ft ESE swell is clean, the period is long, and the surface is glassy with a cross-off wind. The break can get crowded “sometimes,” so paddle out early and claim your spot. That’s your best session of the whole window.
Saturday afternoon stays at 3ft ESE, still clean. Sunday morning, July 12th, offers 5ft from the S with an 11-second period, cross-shore wind, but the combined energy jumps to 1046 – strong. The light wind keeps it rideable but not perfect.
Sunday afternoon goes south quickly – 7ft SSE with a short 8-second period, 18 mph cross-onshore wind, and lumpy surface. Hard pass.
Monday July 13th and Tuesday July 14th see 7ft SE swell – that’s over 6ft, so only for experienced surfers. Combined energy peaks at 1121 Monday morning. Winds are glassy or offshore at times, but the size is intimidating.
Wednesday morning, July 15th, drops to 6ft from the ESE, 11-second period, clean offshore NNW wind at 9 mph – combined energy 699. That’s a solid, much cleaner day, but Saturday is still the standout.
Thursday July 16th runs 5-5ft ESE, clean cross-off. Friday July 17th morning goes glassy with 3ft ESE groundswell at 12 seconds – combined energy 518. A nice little refresh.
From July 18th to July 20th, it’s mostly 5ft ENE swell with a short 8-second period. Combined energy slides into the 300s – weak. The winds are decent, but the short period kills the quality.
July 21st morning has 6ft from the S with a 6-second period – messy and weak. July 22nd morning kicks up 7ft SSE, 7-second period, glassy but short – again, too big for most.
July 23rd throws a big 10ft SSE swell with 8-second period – combined energy 1204, very strong – but that’s expert-only territory.
July 24th and 25th fade to 4-4ft S swell with cross-on wind and poor conditions.
If you’ve got one session to make, make it Saturday morning, July 11th. That 5ft ESE groundswell with clean wind is the real deal. The water is freezing, but the waves are worth it.
Keep your eyes on the horizon and your wax on.

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.
