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 off the bat, the start of the period is a bit of a write-off. Thursday and Friday of this week are plagued with onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions, and the weekend doesn't look much better with more onshore slop and rain. You're better off waiting it out.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, the 8th of September. After a run of poor surf, we get a morning of pure glass. The wind is dead calm, 0 mph, and the waves are a clean 5 ft from the SSE with a moderate period of 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (631) and it’s looking very good. This is the standout. Get out there early Tuesday morning for the cleanest, smoothest lines of the week. Later in the day a light cross-shore breeze kicks in, but the morning session is the winner.
The following Monday, the 14th of September, serves up another proper glassy morning. It’s a long-period groundswell of 3 ft from the south, with a very long 14-second period, and the wind is glassy again. This is a small but beautifully clean wave. Keep in mind that long-period swell like this will be a bit better if you can find a point or reef, as it might close out on the beach. The combined energy is moderate (584) but the quality should be excellent. Tuesday the 15th sees a bigger pulse of long-period south swell, with the combined energy jumping to strong (1168) in the morning and very strong (1421) in the afternoon. The waves build from 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won't be quite as clean as the glassy morning sessions. Still, if you can handle a bit of texture, that Tuesday afternoon has some serious power behind it.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 16th of September brings another promising morning with a clean 5 ft S swell, light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, and moderate combined energy (530). It’s another session that's worth setting the alarm for. The rest of the second week gets a bit ordinary again with onshores and rain, but don't let that get you down – the first week has some solid, clean sessions to make the most of.
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.
