Alright, Rusty here again, in old-school numbers.

Let's talk Mocambique. First thing: the start of this run through to Sunday morning is just no good. Saturday July 4th, the swell is too big at over 8 feet and the wind is cross-onshore. That's a kite day, not a surf day. There’s a big dry spell in the quality department right off the bat.

Your real window opens Sunday morning, July 5th. It goes glassy flat-calm, with a clean 7 feet swell from the SSE. The water feels about normal for the season. That window stays open through the afternoon as the swell eases to a comfortable 6 feet from the same direction with cross-offshore winds. That is clean, rideable, and enjoyable.

Monday is a step down – just okay. Then things go sideways through Tuesday with strong onshores and poor conditions.

By Wednesday morning, July 8th, it tidies up. A light offshore from the NW and swell around 4 feet from the S makes for a clean, if smaller, session.

There’s a solid standout on Saturday July 11th though. Morning’s a bit messy, but the afternoon goes glassy – dead calm. A 4 feet ESE groundswell with a long 13-second period rolls in. The energy is solid. That is the kind of session you remember.

The next big one is Tuesday morning, July 14th. Glassy, light from the SW, with a punchy 5 feet swell from the SSE and big energy (815 combined). That’s powerful and clean, but it's for experienced surfers only. That is the standout pick of the whole outlook if you've got the skill.

After that, it's a lot of onshore slop and mediocrity with just a few clean but small windows. The morning of Sunday, July 19th, has a glassy knee-high wave, but that’s a long way out.

Call it for the early morning Sunday July 5th, or hold for the glassy Saturday July 11th afternoon. If you're experienced and want the bite, Tuesday July 14th morning is the one.

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.

Mocambique is 12 km (7 miles) from Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
