The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, it’s a slow start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Sunday morning the 26th of July. The week kicks off with a clean little 3 ft swell from the south, with a nice 12-second period pushing through – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, so expect clean shoulders and some decent shape. Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary. That Sunday morning session is the best bet early on, but be aware that crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have some company. The combined energy is moderate at 364.

Monday the 27th drops off into ordinary conditions – small waves around 2 ft to 3 ft, with light winds but nothing to get excited about. Tuesday the 28th is a write-off with poor surf and onshore slop. Wednesday the 29th stays small and average. Thursday the 30th gets a bit of size – 5 ft on the cards in the afternoon – but it’s cross-on wind and choppy, so that’s a no-go for a clean wave.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 31st of July is a standout morning. Glassy conditions, light southerly breeze, and a 4 ft swell out of the south with 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate to solid at 261. That glassy wind is a major positive – the surface will be like a mirror. Then Friday afternoon turns it up a notch: glassy again, 4 ft from the south, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving it more push and shape. Combined energy hits 415 – that’s a nice wall of water. This Friday is your best early call, clean and punchy.

Saturday the 1st of August keeps the good run going with light morning cross-off winds and 4 ft of south swell, then glassy afternoon conditions with 3 ft from the SSE. Both sessions are clean and workable, with moderate energy around 272 to 330.

Sunday the 2nd gets a bump in size – 5 ft to 6 ft from the south – but the wind turns onshore and cross-shore, so the quality drops. It’s marginal. Monday the 3rd of August is a cracker morning. Swell from the SSE at 4 ft with a very long 13-second period. That’s groundswell with serious energy – combined energy is 937, strong and powerful. Light cross-off breeze keeps it clean. This is the real standout of the whole outlook – a long-period swell like this will wrap in nicely at this exposed break. Just bear in mind that long-period swells can make beach breaks a bit too straight, but here it should offer solid, well-shaped waves.

Tuesday the 4th rolls on with a clean 5 ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, and light cross-off wind. Combined energy is 905 – very strong. Wednesday the 5th pushes up to 7 ft from the east, still clean, but that size is starting to get into intermediate territory. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th see swells hitting 7 ft to 8 ft from the ENE – that’s getting big, and the forecast notes it may be too big for this break. Only experienced surfers should be looking at that. By Saturday the 8th, it drops back to 6 ft to 6 ft, still clean and solid.

Sunday the 9th of August has a morning session with a 7 ft south swell and light offshore wind – that’s clean but again, big for most. The afternoon settles to 5 ft from the ENE with a 10-second period and light cross-off breeze, combined energy at 793 – that’s a great way to cap things off.

Overall, the standout sessions are the glassy Friday the 31st and the long-period Monday the 3rd. Both offer clean, punchy surf with solid energy. If you’re an experienced surfer, the bigger days from the 5th onwards are worth a look, but be mindful of the size.

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.
