The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the Mocambique coast for the next two weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start. Saturday the 22nd has a 7ft S swell, but it’s a bit too much for the spot. The wave energy is moderate (903), and the wind is cross-on, so it’s gonna be choppy. The water is 67°, which is about average for this time of year.
Sunday the 23rd is worse. The swell drops a bit, but the wind goes onshore, and the energy spikes to 1091 in the afternoon. With a 12-second period, it’s just a lumpy mess.
Now, Monday the 24th gets interesting. The morning has a 8ft SSE swell with a 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light cross-off, and the combined energy is a strong 2467. This is a big, powerful swell. It’s definitely for the experts only. The afternoon is similar, 8ft and 2221 energy, but the wind goes cross-on.
Tuesday the 25th is the real winner. The morning is pure glass, with a 6ft SSE swell, 13-second period, and clean conditions. The wind is NNW at 6 mph. That’s the kind of morning you live for. The energy is 995 – solid, not overwhelming. The afternoon is clean too with a cross-off breeze.
Wednesday the 26th is another big one. The swell jumps back to 8ft, the period hits 15 seconds, and the energy is a massive 2299. The wind is clean cross-off. This is a serious, heavy groundswell. Experts only.
Thursday the 27th is solid. The morning is clean, 5ft, 13-second SSE swell, and 918 energy. A good day for intermediates and above.
The weekend of the 29th and 30th is average. The swell goes ENE, shorter period, and the energy is weak, around 400. The wind is okay. Sunday the 30th afternoon goes glassy, but the swell is only 5ft.
The first week of September is a slow fade. The standout is Thursday the 3rd, with a clean 4ft S swell, 16-second period, and offshore WNW wind. The energy is 661. It’s a clean, long-period swell that will be very tidy. The morning is the pick.
The last couple of days, the 5th and 6th, are a slow fade. Small, clean, but small. The energy is below 300, so it’s a longboard day.
The best call is Tuesday the 25th morning for that glassy, clean 6ft, and Monday the 24th morning for the big, expert-level groundswell. The long-range stuff on Thursday the 3rd is promising but less certain.

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.
