The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I won’t sugarcoat it—this stretch coming up is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few moments where it all comes together, especially if you’re patient. The swell never really gets over 5ft for most of the run, so it’s mostly small-wave territory, but the quality jumps up when the wind plays nice.
Let’s kick off with Mocambique. Water temp is sittin’ around 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but you’ll feel the difference if you’re used to warmer water. The first real chance to get excited is Wednesday the 29th of July. Wednesday morning sees light NNW offshore winds with a clean 2ft S swell (period 12 seconds) and moderate wave energy (206). Wednesday afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions, a 2ft S swell from the same direction, and still solid energy (205). That’s your standout for the first week—small but clean, and that glassy surface makes it feel way better than the size suggests.
Now, if you’re thinking about the second week, keep an eye on Monday the 3rd of August. Monday morning has a 5ft E swell with light NNW cross-off winds and clean conditions, energy climbing to 222. Monday afternoon holds a similar 5ft E swell, still clean, with energy up to 295. That’s the best size you’ll see all forecast, and it’s still manageable for intermediates. But here’s the catch—Tuesday the 4th of August sees a big jump in swell height (7ft SE), which is too big for this break and only for experts, with cross-on winds and lumpy conditions, so steer clear that day.
Wednesday the 5th of August morning brings a nice 5ft SE swell with offshore N winds and clean surf, energy at 548—very good conditions, a real bright spot. After that, things taper off through the end of the week into the weekend, with smaller swells and plenty of ordinary or poor days. There’s a gap from around the 8th of August onward where the surf gets pretty weak and the wind turns ugly—Sunday the 9th afternoon has a 1ft SSE swell being smashed by 35 km/h onshore winds, so not worth paddling out.
All up, if you’ve got one session to chase, make it Wednesday the 29th of July for that glassy, offshore perfection at Mocambique. Monday the 3rd and Wednesday the 5th of August are also solid bets if you can wait.
Stay salty,
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.
Mocambique is 12 km (7 miles) from Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
