The Lowdown
Alright, groms, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Mocambique forecast.
The water’s a bit nippier than usual for this time of year, sittin’ around 64°F, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
We’re starting off on Tuesday, 21 July. It’s clean, but nothin’ to write home about. The morning has a 5ft swell from the ENE with a light offshore NNW breeze at 6 mph. The wave energy is moderate (288). The afternoon is similar, just a touch smaller.
Now, Wednesday 22 July morning is the one. Glassy. The wind is dead calm from the SW. The swell is 4ft from the ENE. That’s smooth, clean, and perfect. That’s a top pick.
Thursday 23 July is a mess. The wind goes onshore from the S at 12 mph, and the swell jumps to 7ft in the afternoon. The energy is huge (952) but it’s choppy and ugly. Leave it.
Friday 24 July morning is another glassy beauty. 5ft from the SE, no wind. The energy is strong (535). That’s your second standout. The afternoon stays glassy too.
Saturday 25 July is clean in the morning with a 5ft SE swell and an offshore NW wind at 6 mph, but the afternoon gets a little messy.
Sunday 26 July morning is a big dump of water. An 8ft S swell with very strong energy (1884). The wind is cross-shore. This is a big one – experts only. The afternoon is choppy.
Monday 27 July is a nice, clean 4ft SE swell with a cross-off breeze. Good for a recovery session.
After that, it goes flat. From Tuesday 28 July through the end of the month, you’re lookin’ at 2-3ft dribble. It’s there, but it’s ordinary.
The first week of August is average until Wednesday 5 August. That morning brings a promising 5ft SSE swell with a very long period of 12 seconds, and a light offshore wind. The energy is strong (934). This is a groundswell, so it’ll wrap into the points better. The afternoon stays clean with a 4ft swell and a 13-second period. It’s a long way off, but it’s got potential.
So, for the best surf: Wednesday 22 July morning and Friday 24 July morning. That’s where the magic is. The Sunday 26 July swell is for the brave.
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.
