The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Mocambique.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year: 67.1°F.
First good window hits Tuesday morning on September 8th. We’ve got a 3.9ft swell from the SSE, 10-second period, and a clean offshore WNW breeze. Moderate energy (332). Tuesday afternoon stays clean with a nice cross-off wind.
Wednesday morning the 9th bumps up to 5.2ft from the ENE, short period at 8 seconds, but with offshore NW wind – clean and fun (energy 470).
Then it gets ugly. Saturday the 12th through Sunday the 13th: onshore SE winds up to 19 mph and a nasty 13ft S swell (energy 2422). Choppy, lumpy – this is more for kite surfing than paddling.
Wednesday the 16th is a real treat. Glassy conditions all day, light air, 5.2ft to 5.6ft S swell, 8-9 second period. Clean faces, easy paddling. That’s your best session of the early run.
Thursday and Friday the 17th-18th get big again (over 6.5ft from the S, 14-15 seconds) but with cross-onshore winds. Too rough for this spot to be good.
Best call of the whole outlook? Saturday the 19th of September. Light offshore NNE wind, glassy, 4.6ft SSE swell at 13 seconds (energy 690). Clean, lined up, and just right. Crowds are possible, so get in before the masses.
Sunday the 20th onward is giant – 9.8ft+ ENE swell. Clean offshore winds but that’s for experts only. Way too big for a casual paddle.
Short Range ForecastMostly dry. Warm (max 20°C on Wed morning, min 14°C on Mon afternoon). Wind will be generally light. | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryModerate rain (total 14mm), heaviest on Fri night. Warm (max 22°C on Fri morning, min 15°C on Sat night). Winds increasing (light winds from the NNE on Thu afternoon, fresh winds from the S by Sat afternoon). | |||||||||||||||||||

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.
