G’Day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.

Water temp is about average for the season. Friday 3 July and Saturday 4 July are total duds – you’ve got a big 10ft S swell with short bumpy 8 seconds period, cross-on wind, and the combined energy is pumping at 1381 (moderate to strong). That’s messy and too big for intermediate folks. Skip it.

Sunday 5 July is where the magic happens. That morning, wind goes glassy out of the west, the swell drops to a cleaner 6ft from the SSE, period stretches to 11 seconds, and combined energy sits at 846 (moderate). This is the standout – glassy conditions, long period groundswell. The direction matches the optimum for this spot, and the waves will have proper shape. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get out early.

Monday 6 July drops to 4ft, still clean but weaker – energy at 459 (moderate low end). Tuesday is choppy. Wednesday 8 July and Thursday 9 July bring back clean surf with glassy and offshore winds, 4ft to 4ft S swell at 8–10 seconds, energy low to moderate (263–320). Nice small-wave fun.

There’s a flat gap from Friday 10 July into Saturday 11 July morning – tiny 2ft swell. But Saturday 11 July afternoon fires up: 4ft from the ESE with 11 seconds, clean cross-off wind, energy 529 (moderate). Sunday 12 July afternoon cleans up nicely with 4ft ESE at 12 seconds.

Wednesday 15 July goes glassy with 6ft S swell – but only 7 seconds period, so a bit short. Thursday 16 July morning is another standout: glassy, 5ft S swell with 12 seconds period, energy 568 (moderate). That’s well-shaped and clean. Friday 17 July morning has 5ft S swell at 13 seconds (long period), cross-off wind, energy 745 (moderate) – powerful and lined up, though at a beach break it might run a bit straight.

Saturday 18 July shows 5ft S swell with a very long 14 seconds period, but cross-on wind, energy 1058 (strong) – that’s for experienced surfers only.

Best on offer? Sunday 5 July morning – glassy, 6ft SSE, 11 seconds, clean as. Also keep your eyes on Thursday 16 July morning and Friday 17 July morning. Second week looks promising but less certain.

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.
