The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down Mocambique (Mozambique) for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is about 61°F right now, which is a solid 5°F colder than usual—definitely enough to get your attention. Southeast exposure means that when there’s swell, it lines up proper.
Tuesday morning 14 July starts things off with clean 6ft SE swell, 10-second period, light cross-off breeze and combined energy of 610. That’s a solid morning. Tuesday afternoon sees a small drop to 6ft but still clean.
Wednesday 15 July has a 5ft SE swell with offshore NNW wind clean in the morning (combined energy 408), but the afternoon cross-off is less favorable. Friday 17 July morning jumps to 6ft from the NE, 8-second period, combined energy 811 (moderate to strong), and gentle offshore wind. Wave condition says “expect very good surf”—that Friday morning is the standout for the first week, no question.
Saturday 18 July morning has a 7ft ENE swell, 8-second period, gentle offshore winds and energy at 546. The afternoon gets flagged as too big for this break at 7ft, so morning is your go. Sunday 19 July still has clean 6ft ENE with offshore NNW wind.
Monday 20th through Wednesday 22nd are smaller and messier. Thursday 23 July glassy early with a 4ft S swell, 11-second period, combined energy 382 (“expect good surf”). That’s a solid pick.
The second week: Sunday 26 July sees a big S swell of 8ft and combined energy 1452, marked as too big for the break. Monday 27 July peaks at around 10ft SSE at 14 seconds, combined energy 2868, way too big. Tuesday 28 July still too big. Wednesday 29 July cleans up with offshore wind, 5ft SE at 13-second period, combined energy 886, and “expect very good surf” again. That Wednesday morning is the standout in the second week, with long-period groundswell giving excellent shape.
The days from 26 through 28 July are really only for big-wave specialists or maybe kitesurfers if the wind suits, not regular paddle surfing. Crowds can turn up at Mocambique, but it’s not always a zoo.
Your best bets: Friday 17 July morning and Thursday 23 July morning in the first week; Wednesday 29 July morning in the second week.

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.
