The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real quality if you time it right.
The first wave worth paddling for is on Wednesday afternoon the 22nd at Mocambique. It’s cloudy, with a light northerly breeze, glassy surface. Swell is 4ft from the ENE, about 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell. Water temp is 63°, a bit colder than usual. Combined energy is moderate at 200. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The real highlight comes on Saturday morning the 25th. Dead calm, glassy as a lake, with a solid 5ft swell from the SE, period up to 9 seconds. Energy is strong at 481. That’s going to be clean, lined up, and fun. The wind stays offshore all morning, so get out early before the onshore switch in the afternoon.
Sunday the 26th is a different vibe. Swell drops to 3ft, but the period goes to 12 seconds – proper groundswell coming from the S. The breeze is cross-offshore, so the waves are clean and have some shape. Energy is still solid at 399. It’s a good day for a longer board, especially if you find a point or a reef.
The middle of the week gets small and ordinary, with more rain and cloud. The energy drops away, and the waves are just mushy. Not worth rushing.
But the real payout comes on Saturday the 1st of August in the afternoon. Swell jumps to 6ft from the E, 8 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze from the N. Energy is strong at 529. That’s the biggest, cleanest push of the whole forecast. The morning is a bit messy, but the afternoon is the standout.
Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd keep the energy going. Monday morning the 3rd has glassy conditions with a 4ft E swell, and the afternoon serves up a 5ft ESE swell with a clean offshore wind. Energy is strong at 438. A solid run of consistent, clean surf.
Into the second week, things settle. The 4th, 5th, and 6th of August offer surfable waves from 3ft to 5ft, with clean conditions and light winds. Energy stays moderate. Reliable, fun, but not the size of the 1st.
Best calls: Saturday morning the 25th for that glassy 5ft SE swell, and Saturday afternoon the 1st of August for the biggest, cleanest swell of the run. Mark your calendar.
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.
