The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s brewing for Mocambique.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s a bit of a waiting game. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before things finally light up around the 11th of August. Don’t expect much action for the first several days. There’s a real gap from now through the 3rd of August where the surf is either tiny or the wind is junk. You’ll be sitting on the beach more than in the water.
That said, the one true standout in this whole forecast is shaping up for Tuesday the 11th of August. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a fat 13-second period, packing a huge punch with a combined energy of 1402 – that’s serious stuff. The kicker is the wind goes glassy in the afternoon. This is excellent for experienced surfers only, mind you. Anything over 8ft is expert territory to begin with, so this is right on the edge. The long period means the sets will have real power and better shape, but at a beach setup like this, it might be a bit straight and won't be for the faint-hearted. The morning of the 11th is also worth noting: the swell is a touch smaller at 6ft but with a 14-second period and combined energy at 1471, though the cross-shore wind won't make it as clean as that glassy afternoon session.
Before that, the 4th of August offers a small reprieve. We get a glassy 3ft SSE swell on the Tuesday morning and afternoon. The period is 11 seconds and the energy is moderate at 368-371. It’s clean and surfable, but it's not a patch on what’s coming the following week.
The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so your usual 3/2mm is the call.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother with the first week unless you’re desperate for a tiny, wind-affected paddle. Save your energy for that Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon session – glassy, solid, and powerful. It’s the one to circle.
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.
