The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the cards for Mocambique. The start of the outlook is a bit of a write-off, with a messy, onshore, and oversized swell on Sunday the 6th, so we’re skipping that. The real action starts to kick off next week.
The first real standout is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds. Winds are glassy, which is a huge positive. The combined energy is sitting at 378 (moderate), so there’s some push there. This is a solid, clean option for the intermediate surfer.
Then, we have a real cracker on Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. The swell is up a touch to 6ft from the ENE, with a short period of 8 seconds. But the wind is clean, coming from the NNW, making for some very good conditions. The energy is a bit stronger at 615 (moderate). This is a good window for Mocambique.
The next true standout is Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. We’ve got a 6ft groundswell from the SSE, with a 9-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is 686 (moderate). This one looks like a real treat – clean, punchy, and well-shaped.
Also, keep an eye on Friday morning, the 18th of September. It’s a smaller 5ft swell from the SSE, but with a very long period of 13 seconds, and it’s glassy again. The energy is 738 (moderate). This is a classic groundswell, so it’ll be lined up and juicy, but that longer period might make it a bit tricky at the beach break, so keep your wits about you.
The long-range stuff into the second week is promising but less certain. The 16th and 18th are the ones to circle on the calendar.
Alright, that’s the skinny. Stay stoked and keep an eye on the sky.
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.
