The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a pretty slow start for Mocambique. The first few days are messy, with cross-onshore winds and the swell all over the place. The combined wave energy is weak at first, sitting at 275, so nothing is really happening out there. Water’s sitting at 66°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to get wet looks like Thursday, September 3rd morning. The conditions clean right up with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNW, and we’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the SE with an 11-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 545, moderate but with some push. This is the standout window. Mocambique is an exposed spot and the SE direction is what it likes. The offshore wind will leave those waves clean, but keep in mind it’s a beach break, and with that longer period, the sets could be a bit more lined up and powerful. The morning is the call, and it’s a Thursday, so crowds will be manageable. Later that afternoon, the wind goes a bit lighter and cross-off, still clean but the size drops to 4ft.

Sunday, September 6th, things get heavy but sloppy. The swell ramps up to 8ft from the S with a combined energy of 1356 – that’s strong energy – but the wind is a solid cross-onshore, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. That one is for the kite crew, not for a paddle surfer.

We’ve got another interesting window on Saturday, September 12th morning. It’s glassy – literally no wind – with a 6ft swell from the south. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weaker in shape, but when it’s glassy, that doesn’t matter so much. The combined energy is 607, moderate. Sunday, September 13th morning is also glassy, with a 5ft swell and the period stretching out to 9 seconds – a touch better. Both mornings are solid options for a fun, relaxed session.

Our last chance for something clean is Wednesday, September 16th morning. Another glassy morning, with a smaller 4ft swell from the ENE at a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a low 297, so it’ll be weaker, but on a glassy day you can make anything fun. This is the final surfable call before the 16-day window closes.

Overall, it’s a patchy outlook. You’ve got that one standout morning on the 3rd with offshore winds and a proper groundswell, then a couple of glassy mornings the following weekend that will be worth a dawn patrol. The rest is either too windy, too messy, or the swell is too big for the conditions. Still, when it’s on, it’s on.

Stay sharp,
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.
