Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks. This is an intermediate, fairly consistent spot that's exposed to swell, and it's been seeing some really cold water – the anomaly is 2.3° colder than normal right now, so you'll want a good thick wetsuit.
We kick off Monday, July 6th with a bit of a mediocre start. Morning sees a 4.3ft SSE swell, period around 10s, with a moderate cross-off north wind at 12 mph. The combined energy's moderate at 552, but the forecast says marginal – tide might be funny. That afternoon drops to 3.6ft SE, still cross-off, but nothing to get excited about. Tuesday the 7th is even less inspiring: a short-period 5.2ft S swell at 8s, cross-on wind, and only 538 energy – choppy and small wind ripples. Not worth paddling out.
Then Wednesday the 8th turns a corner. Morning goes glassy with a 3.3ft S swell, 9s period, 310 energy – clean and small but fun. Afternoon picks up to 3.6ft S swell with a longer 12s period, cross-off wind, 458 energy – that's a solid little afternoon session. Thursday the 9th stays clean with a 2.6ft ESE swell, 11s, offshore NNW breeze at 6 mph, 237 energy – small but glassy. Friday the 10th drops off badly – 1.6ft ESE swell, 13s period but poor wind and only 180 energy – not worth it.
Now, Saturday the 11th is a real standout. Morning glassy conditions, 3.6ft ESE swell with a lovely 13s period, and combined energy of 615 – that's a proper groundswell with clean, lined-up waves. The crowd can show up sometimes, but with that quality you might not mind. Afternoon stays clean with cross-off wind. Sunday the 12th morning is another glassy gem – 3.6ft ESE, 12s, 845 energy – even more push. But Sunday afternoon? Watch out: 9.8ft S swell at 8s, glassy, but the energy is 1193 and the forecast says it's too big for this break. That's a kite-surfing day, not for paddle boards.
Monday the 13th is the best of the whole run if you're experienced. Morning: 6.2ft S swell, 11s period, cross-off WSW wind at 6 mph, energy a massive 1578 – clean, powerful, and the comment says excellent for experienced surfers. That's a proper session if you've got the skills. Afternoon gets messy with cross-shore wind and chop. Tuesday the 14th is poor – onshore wind and cho

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.
