The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at what we've got coming down the line here at Mocambique. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some definite moments to get excited about if you're patient.
Right now, the water is sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than what we'd normally expect for this time of year. The first few days are looking pretty average, honestly. We’ve got some moderate cross-onshore breezes and a lumpy, chopped-up ocean. The swell is mostly short-period stuff from the south, not really worth paddling out for.
Things start to turn around on the morning of Thursday, September 17th. That's where you want to be in the water. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we've got a clean 5ft swell from the south with a decent 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (527), but with those conditions, it’ll feel better than the numbers suggest. It’s going to be clean and lined up. That Thursday morning session is the standout of the whole run. The afternoon holds a nice 5ft SSE groundswell with clean, cross-offshore winds, so you’ve got a full day of it.
We get a run of cleaner days into Friday the 18th, with smaller but clean waves from the SSE. Nothing huge, but fun for a log or a fish.
Now, heads up for the weekend of the 19th and 20th. The swell is going to push up over 7ft from the ENE, and the model is saying the waves might be too big for this break. The winds are favorable, but if you're not an experienced surfer, this might be a time to sit on the beach. For the experts out there, the Sunday morning (September 20th) has light offshore winds with a clean 7ft swell – that's a proper session for the crew who know what they're doing. The combined energy is strong at 791.
After that big weekend, we settle back down. Monday the 21st has a solid 6ft clean swell in the morning with light offshore winds again. It looks really good. The following week has a few more glassy mornings with cleaner conditions, but the swell drops off a bit. Thursday the 24th morning has a glassy 4ft, and then Sunday the 27th has a glassy 6ft from the ESE. Those are your next best bets after the first big window.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a write-off. The absolute best on offer is that Thursday, September 17th, from morning through afternoon. The second standout is that Sunday the 20th for the experts, and the Monday the 21st for everyone else. After that, it’s a mix of glassy mornings but smaller surf.

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.
