The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let’s check out what’s happening at Mocambique over the next couple of weeks. It’s a fairly consistent spot, with a mix of average days and a few absolute gems if you’re willing to wait. The swell direction starts from the NE and ENE, then shifts to S and SSE later—that’s right in the sweet spot since optimum is SE. Crowds are possible sometimes, so you might have to jostle for waves.
Sunday 19 July kicks off with a clean 1.8m NE swell, cross-off wind from the NNW at 15 km/h, period short at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (736). Morning’s worth a paddle, but the afternoon drops to 1.4m and looks marginal—so get out early. Monday 20 July steps it up: morning has 1.9m NE swell, light N wind cross-off, energy 814, clean. That’s a solid session. Afternoon still okay at 1.7m ENE but not as good. Tuesday 21 July morning sees offshore NW wind at 5 km/h, 1.5m ENE swell, 8 seconds, energy 300—clean and glassy, a nice window before the wind turns onshore in the afternoon.

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.
