Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mocambique over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a mixed bag this period. The week starts quiet, but there are a couple of days that are definitely worth circling on the calendar. The water's running at 61°, which is a full 5° colder than what you'd normally expect for this time of year – that's very unusual, so don't forget a decent wetsuit if you're paddling out Thursday morning.
The first real standout is Thursday, 09 July. Thursday morning at Mocambique is looking clean with a light offshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph. The swell is a small but tidy 3ft out of the ESE with a 10-second period, and the combined swell energy is sitting at a moderate 227. It's not going to be huge, but the conditions will be good, making it a solid option for an intermediate surfer to get a few clean ones. The crowd situation is "sometimes," so you might have company, but it won't be a circus.
Friday, 10 July morning is the real gem of this outlook. The wind goes glassy – absolute zero – from the SW at just 3 mph. The waves will be in the 2ft range, but they're packing a seriously long 14-second period groundswell from the ESE. The combined energy is 288. That long period will really help line things up at this spot. It's a classic "glass-off" scenario, which doesn't come around often. This is the morning to get wet if you can.
Saturday, 11 July, is also promising. The morning session has a 4ft ESE swell with a 13-second period, cross-off wind from the NNW at 6 mph, and a combined energy of 634 – that's some nice moderate-to-strong energy. Conditions are expected to be very good. The afternoon picks up a bit more breeze but is still clean.
Into the second week, things get a bit trickier. Sunday, 12 July, sees a bump in size to 5ft from the SSE by the afternoon, but the cross-onshore wind at 12 mph will chop it up. Monday, 13 July, has a short-period, 6ft S swell at only 7 seconds – that's all chop and no power. Not worth it.
The highlight of the later days looks to be Tuesday, 14 July. The morning is glassy again with a 5ft SSE swell and a combined energy of 352. The wind is from the W at 3 mph – glass. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze. That Tuesday is your next best bet.
From Wednesday, 16 July onwards, the swell drops back down to the 3ft-3ft range with shorter periods. Conditions are mostly clean but only surfable, nothing special. By the time we get to Saturday, 18 July, the swell bumps back up to 5-6ft from the ENE, but with a short 8-second period. It's clean, but that short period at a beach setup like Mocambique will make it a bit fat and messy. It's surfable for sure, but the quality from the first week isn't there.
The final few days from 21 July onwards are mostly a write-off due to strong cross-onshore winds or very small, weak swell. The 22nd and 23rd offer some glassy or light offshore pockets, but the swell is tiny, only around 3ft.
So, to wrap it up: Friday morning the 10th is your absolute best call with that glassy 14-second groundswell. Tuesday the 14th is the second standout. The first week wins over the second week really.
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.
