Alright, crew, Rusty here with the outlook for Mocambique.
We’re staring at a slow start. The first few days are a total bust for any proper surfing. There’s a gap of a few days with nothing worthwhile on the cards. The water temp is 62°F, which is a full 5°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a very unusual chill, so a thick wetsuit is a must.
The first real highlight doesn’t arrive until Sunday, July 5th. That morning, Mocambique is looking clean and glassy with a 7ft swell from the SSE, a long 11-second period. The combined swell energy is a solid 954 (moderate). The wind is out of the WNW at 3 mph, near glassy, and the waves are expected to be very good. The Sunday afternoon session holds up too, with a 6ft SSE swell and clean conditions under a light cross-offshore breeze. This is your best window in the first week.
From Monday the 6th through to Tuesday the 14th, it’s a mixed bag of smaller, cleaner swells and a few days where the wind blows onshore and ruins the shape. The 13th of July brings a proper pulse: a 5ft SSE groundswell (11 seconds) Monday morning with clean conditions and excellent surf for experienced surfers. The energy is reading 1002 (moderate to strong). However, the afternoon of the 13th gets too big for the break at 8ft, and the following Tuesday and Wednesday see even bigger 8ft to 7ft swells, which are really only for the experts. The 14th and 15th have glassy or clean conditions, but the swell is too big for the setup here.
The best bet for the second week looks like Monday, July 13th morning. After that, a big, long-period SE swell (12-13 seconds) fills in from the 15th, but it’s consistently too big for Mocambique, and the winds get messy by the 17th. If you’re an expert, the 15th and 16th mornings offer big, powerful waves with moderate energy (1468 and 1430), but it’s a serious proposition.
So, bottom line: Sunday the 5th is your standout for the whole period. Next best is the morning of Monday the 13th. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too big.
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.
