The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Mocambique.
First off, you’re gonna be twiddling your thumbs for a few days. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a total mess – onshore winds, choppy, and Sunday afternoon sees a 10ft swell that’s just lumpy and nasty. Monday the 7th is still a bit rough, but you can see the light.
Tuesday the 8th morning is where the tide turns. A light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE cleans up a 4ft SSE swell. The water’s about average temp for this time of year, and the energy is moderate. It’s not world-class, but it’s surfable.
The first real standout is Wednesday the 9th morning. Clear skies, light NW offshore wind, and a 6ft ENE swell. That’s clean, punchy, and the kind of session that’ll have you grinning. The direction’s a bit off the ideal, but the wind makes up for it.
Thursday the 10th morning is a glassy treat. A 4ft E swell, smooth as a mirror, with longer lulls between sets. It’s smaller, but the quality is there.
Then the big stuff hits. Saturday the 12th afternoon, a huge 12ft S swell rolls in, and it’s too big for the spot. Sunday the 13th through Tuesday the 15th is a parade of massive S and SE swells (up to 13ft), all too big and with messy winds. Not for the average surfer.
The sweet spot is Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th. Light offshore winds, 5ft to 3ft SE swells, and very long-period groundswell (13-14 seconds). That’s clean, lined up, and the energy is solid. This is the best quality of the whole outlook – a classic winter pulse.
Saturday the 19th is glassy and small again, a nice wind-down. Sunday the 20th morning brings a 7ft ENE swell with offshore wind, but it’s short-period and might be a bit much.
Your best bet: Wednesday the 9th morning for the first proper clean session, and then Thursday the 17th through Friday the 18th for the best quality groundswell. The long period means it’ll be a bit more drawn out, but the wind is perfect.
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.
