The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Mocambique’s got cooking over the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed forecast, but there are a few sessions worth paddling out for.
No surf to start, but Thursday morning, 10 September, fires up. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the south with a 12-second period – solid groundswell. Combined energy is strong (486), and a light cross-off breeze keeps it tidy. This spot is fairly consistent, so you’ll find waves. A real standout for the first week.
Friday morning, 11 September, is another option. Swell hits 4ft from the east-northeast, but the period drops to 8 seconds, making it a bit weaker. Offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph keeps it clean, and combined energy (296) is moderate. A good quiet session.
Saturday and Sunday (12-13 September) are rough. Strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions with swell over 5ft and short periods – not worth it.
Monday (14 September) is also poor. Fresh cross-onshore wind and choppy sea state. Stay dry.
Tuesday morning, 15 September, is a standout with a warning. Swell jumps to 7ft from the east with a 9-second period, combined energy (1342) is very strong. Light cross-off wind, clean, but the forecast says the swell might be too big for this break. Only for experienced surfers. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Wednesday morning, 16 September, is big again – 6ft from the south, but strong cross-onshore wind ruins it. Afternoon gets to 7ft, same problem.
Now, Thursday and Friday, 17-18 September, are the best of the run. Thursday morning: 5ft from the south-southeast with a long 12-second period – proper groundswell. Combined energy (797) is strong. Wind is light cross-off from the north-northeast at just 3 mph, nearly glassy. Very clean. Friday morning: 7ft from the east-northeast, 8-second period, but combined energy (806) is strong and wind is glassy from the north. Both days are excellent.
Saturday and Sunday, 19-20 September, drop off. Poor on Saturday, Sunday has a small 3ft clean swell, but not the best.
Monday morning, 21 September, is a glassy session – 3ft from the south with a 13-second period, combined energy (441) and zero wind. Beautiful clean waves, just small.
The rest of the second week is mostly poor or marginal. Friday morning, 25 September, has a bigger 7ft swell from the east-northeast, but again the forecast says it might be too big. Strong energy (862) and light cross-off wind – only for experts.
Best sessions are Thursday 17 September and Friday 18 September – clean, solid swell, good wind, and plenty of energy. That’s where you want to be.

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.
