Mocambique Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and a lot of cross-onshore junk. Nothing to get excited about until we get into the weekend.

The first real chance of a wave comes Saturday morning, July 31st. It’s small, only 2 ft, but it’s a long-period 13-second groundswell from the south, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The water temp is sittin’ around 66°, which is bang on average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, if you’ve got patience, the real standout is brewing for the morning of Friday, August 7th. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the south, with a short 7-second period, but the wind is glassy—dead calm. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is a solid 509 (moderate), but the wave comment says it might be too big for this break. That’s a big, powerful, close-out set for the beachies, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. The wind is perfect, the swell is thumping, but if you’re not comfortable in overhead, heavy surf, sit this one out.

After that, the next little window is on August 12th. Wednesday morning, we get a 3 ft, 12-second south-southeast groundswell with glassy conditions. The combined energy is 356 (moderate), and the word is “expect good surf conditions.” It’s a clean, lined-up day for the loggers or a mid-length. The afternoon sees a 5 ft east-northeast windswell, short period at 7 seconds, but with a clean cross-off breeze. It’ll be a bit bumpy, but rideable.

Overall, the first week is a slow grind. August 7th is the big one—if you’re an expert, that’s your day. The 12th is a solid fallback for a cleaner, smaller session. Crowds are always possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

Rusty out.
