Righto, let’s get into it. Things are a bit slow to kick off here at Mocambique, but there’s some fun potential on the horizon. The first decent window is Tuesday morning, July 14th, when a 6 ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period rolls in under glassy conditions. It’s not huge, but that clean face with the offshore vibe will have the banks looking tidy. Water temps are about average for this time of year.

Wednesday morning, July 15th, stays clean with a cross-off breeze and a slightly smaller 5 ft ESE swell. Still plenty of fun on offer, but the energy drops a bit through the afternoons as the wind picks up.

The standout from the first week is definitely Saturday morning, July 18th. Solid 6 ft of ENE swell, clean with a light cross-off northerly, and the break is fairly consistent. Moderate wave energy here (485) means there’s enough push to keep things interesting. Just keep an eye out – this spot can get a crowd sometimes.

We have a bit of a lull heading into the middle of the following week, with smaller surf and cross-onshore winds on July 21st and 22nd. But the next real standout is Saturday morning, July 25th. Glassy conditions, dead calm, with a nice 6 ft S swell arriving at 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (619), and it’ll be smooth and inviting.

Sunday, July 26th, is a write-off for paddling – the swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSE with a strong cross-on wind at 18 mph. That’s only for experts, and even then it looks lumpy. With a 14-second period, it’ll be a bit straight at the beach. More of a kite day.

Monday morning, July 27th, brings a reprieve: smaller 4 ft S swell, glassy again, with high energy (994) for its size. That long 12-second period means proper groundswell lines, but at a beach break it might wall up.

Overall, Tuesday July 14th and Saturday July 25th are your true picks – glassy windows with consistent swell. The long-range stuff on the 25th is promising but keep your fingers crossed.

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.
