The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer at Mocambique over the next couple of weeks. There’s no surfing right this second, but don’t tune out; things are about to get real interesting.
The first proper window arrives Friday afternoon, July 24th. We’ve got a nice 6ft SSE groundswell rolling in, with a period of 9 seconds and a solid 507 (moderate wave energy) behind it. The wind is glassy out of the ESE, so this is going to be clean. The water temperature is sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Mocambique is exposed and picks up swell well, so this is a strong start. Saturday morning, July 25th, keeps the fun going with a 5ft SE swell, clean offshore NNW winds, and 408 energy. This is the best run of the week – don’t sleep on it.
Things drop off Saturday afternoon and stay small and ordinary through to Tuesday. There are some surfable, weak waves in there, but nothing to get overly excited about. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th get messy with onshore wind and short-period slop. A few days of poor conditions follow, so it’s a quiet patch.
Now, here’s the real standout. We’ve got a solid run of surf starting Monday morning, August 3rd. A 4ft S groundswell with a long 13-second period and 474 energy rolls in under clean NNW breezes. That’s a proper groundswell, so expect better-shaped waves with more punch and longer lulls – great for paddling out. The quality holds through Tuesday, but the real highlight is Wednesday, August 5th. That morning sees a 5ft S swell with 866 (strong wave energy) and clean offshore winds. That’s a big number; the energy in the water is going to be powerful. Mocambique can handle it, but if you’re a beginner, that’s getting up there at over 5ft, so be aware. For intermediate and above, that’s the session to target. Thursday morning, August 6th, is also very clean with 4ft SE swell and 640 energy, but the afternoon gets chopped up by southerlies.
The second week also offers some promising sessions. Friday, August 7th morning is glassy with a clean 3ft SE swell and 399 energy. Saturday morning, August 8th, has clean 4ft S swell with 374 energy. Both are worth a paddle if you’re around, but the confidence is lower that far out – forecasts can shift.
Overall, the first weekend is the go, and that Wednesday the 5th is shaping up as the absolute best day on offer. Get on it.

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.
