Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mocambique over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here with the look at Mocambique.
We’re starting off a bit slow, but Thursday morning July 9th gets us going with a small, clean 3ft swell out of the ESE, with a period around 10 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, so the surface is gonna be tidy. The energy is moderate (250), nothing too heavy.
Now, Friday morning July 10th is the real gem. The swell drops a touch to 2ft, but that’s coming from the ESE on a proper 14-second groundswell period. That’s a long period for such small waves, meaning they’ll have real shape and push. And the wind? It’s totally glassy from the SSW. The ocean will be like a sheet of glass. That’s the one to circle.
Saturday the 11th is another beauty. Swell picks up to 4ft from the ESE, still with a nice long 13-second period. The early morning gives you light offshore NNW winds for clean surf, with moderate energy (648). The afternoon stays clean too, with a gentle cross-off breeze.
Sunday morning the 12th keeps the run going – glassy conditions again, a 5ft SSE swell, and wave energy climbing to 862. That’s strong and consistent.
Monday the 13th gets bigger, with the swell hitting nearly 6ft, but the period crashes to a short 6 seconds and the wind turns cross-onshore. That’s going to be lumpy and messy. The energy is still moderate (422), but the quality’s gone.
We hit a quiet patch from Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 16th. Swell drops under 4ft, periods shorten, and the winds aren’t working for us. A bit of a lull.
Things pick back up on Friday the 17th. Swell comes from the ENE at 5ft with an 8-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the N. Wave energy is back up to 306. Then Friday afternoon? The wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions with a 5ft swell. That’s a session to be stoked about.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th keeps that ENE swell going at around 4ft to 4ft. Sunday morning the 19th has a good cross-off wind, and Saturday afternoon the 18th is glassy again.
The last week from Monday the 20th through Thursday the 23rd holds that consistent ENE swell, mostly in the 4ft to 4ft range with an 8-second period. The mornings look clean with variable offshore breezes. Wednesday the 22nd morning is especially noted – glassy winds and a 4ft ENE swell. The energy is moderate (257), but the conditions will be perfect.
Crowds can show up at Mocambique sometimes, so get out early, especially on those glassy, clean mornings.
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.
