Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Mocambique.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag—clean, fun waves on the way, but there are some windy, messy days to dodge, too. The good news is that we’ve got consistent swell for a lot of the period, starting up this weekend.

We kick things off Saturday morning, July 11th. The SE swell is running a solid 5 ft with a nice long period of 13 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. Winds are cross-off from the NNW, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is moderate (709). It’s not the biggest, but the quality should be fun for intermediates.

That holds through the afternoon on Saturday, though the swell backs down to 3 ft. Still clean with a light northerly breeze.

Sunday morning, July 12th is still rideable, but we have a cross-shore wind from the SSW making the surface a little rippled. The swell’s back to 5 ft, but the whole vibe is less inviting.

Then things get ugly Sunday afternoon through Monday: the wind turns onshore and choppy. The south swell picks up to 7 ft and 6 ft, but it’s short-period junk with cross-onshore winds up to 15 mph. Not worth your time—unless you want to rig a kite, because this setup is more for kiting than paddling.

Tuesday morning, July 14th—now we’re talking. Glassy conditions under a light WNW breeze. The swell is a strong 8 ft from the SE with 10-second period and pumping combined energy (1105). That’s actually too big for this break—it’s pushing the limit for all but the most experienced surfers. If you’re a solid intermediate or better and can handle the size, Tuesday morning’s window is glassy and tempting. But be careful: it’s a lot of water moving.

The outlook brightens again mid-week. Wednesday morning, July 15th, we get offshore NW wind, 6 ft from the ESE at 11 seconds energy: clean and lined up. The combined energy sits at 758, which is moderate but well-structured.

Thursday morning, July 16th is another good call: 6 ft from the ESE, 12-second period, offshore winds from the NNW. That’s the kind of window that will make you forget the junk days. Energy is 794 and it’s clean.

From there, through the weekend and into early the next week (July 17th to 20th), the swell backs down into the 3 to 5 ft range, mostly from the ENE or NE with shorter periods of 8 seconds. Winds are cross-off or light, so the surface stays clean, but the waves will be smaller and a bit weaker. Still rideable for a fun longboard or grovel session.

Then we hit a run of poor conditions from Tuesday, July 21st through Wednesday, July 22nd—onshore S to SSW winds, choppy, with short-period ENE swell around 5 to 5 ft. Not much to get excited about. Might be a good time to clean the wax out of your car.

Thursday morning, July 23rd gets glassy again, and the south swell pumps back to 7 ft (8-second period, 647 energy). That’s a borderline size for most here—good for experts, but a bit much for beginners.

The final standout comes on Saturday morning, July 25th and Sunday morning, July 26th. Saturday morning (July 25th) gives us a glassy SSE swell at 6 ft, 12-second period and 922 energy dropping into the afternoon. Sunday morning (July 26th) delivers offshore NW wind and 6 ft from the ENE, 8-second period—clean, glassy, and fun.

Top pick of the period: Tuesday morning, July 14th—glassy, big 8 ft SE groundswell with big energy—if you’re experienced enough to handle it. Second best is Thursday morning, July 16th: clean offshore winds and consistent 6 ft ESE groundswell (794 energy). That’s where I’ll be.

Stay safe out there.

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.
