Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mocambique over the next 16 days.
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about the surf at Mocambique. The water temperature is 62°F, which is 4°F colder than what you’d expect for this time of year – that’s proper nippy, so a good wettie is a must.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first worthwhile surf rolls in on Wednesday 8th July. It’s clean, with light offshore winds and a clean 3ft S swell at 9 seconds. Not massive, but fun and tidy for a mid-week session. The energy is moderate at 267.
The real standout of the whole outlook? That’s Saturday afternoon, 11th July. You’ve got a 4ft ESE swell, a 13-second period, and light cross-offshore winds making for clean waves. The combined energy is strong at 726, so the ocean has some proper push. This is the pick of the fortnight: clean, good shape, with that longer period offering some nice lines.
Sunday 12th July keeps the quality going, with clean cross-offshore winds and a similar swell size, though the energy drops slightly to 635-581. Monday 13th gets a bit gnarly: the swell jumps to 6-7ft, but onshore winds and a shorter 8-9 second period make it choppy and messy. That one’s a skip.
The morning of Tuesday 14th is a treat – glassy conditions and a 5ft SSE swell at 8 seconds, but the period’s short, so it’s a bit crumbly. Still, a glassy morning with clean waves is worth a look.
From Wednesday 15th into the following week, the swell hangs around the 2-6ft mark, mostly from the ESE or ENE, with offshore or cross-offshore winds keeping things clean for most sessions. The energy stays in the moderate to strong range (197-426). The longer gap for standouts is from around 20th July onwards – there’s surf on offer, but nothing that screams “drop everything and go.” The period tends to be short (8 seconds), so the waves will be a bit fat and less punchy.
One to genuinely eye off is the morning of Saturday 18th July: a clean 5ft ENE swell with cross-offshore wind and moderate energy at 353. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s solid and clean. By Tuesday 21st morning, we get a similar 6ft ENE swell with light offshore winds, but the afternoon turns ugly with strong onshore winds.
From 22nd July onwards, the swell sticks around 5-6ft, but winds shift onshore or cross-on, so quality drops. The final session on Thursday 23rd afternoon is a late spark: 4ft S swell with an 11-second period, clean with cross-offshore winds and solid energy at 499. That’s a sneaky good finish.
Overall, the best bet is Saturday afternoon 11th July – that’s your session.
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.
