Alright, let’s talk in feet, miles per hour, and Fahrenheit.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of surf starting this Sunday morning, July 5th. The swell is a clean 6ft from the SSE with a nice 11-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the west at a mere 3 mph. The combined energy is pumping at 917, and the word is "very good surf conditions." This is the standout of the whole forecast. Mocambique is exposed to the SE, and this SSE swell is right in the zone, so it’s going to be peeling nicely. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no weird surprises there. Sunday afternoon holds up too, with a light cross-off breeze keeping things clean.
Monday the 6th sees the swell dropping a touch to 4ft, but it’s still clean with a cross-off northerly. The energy drops to 552, but it’s still a good session for intermediates. By Tuesday the 7th, the wind turns a bit cross-on and the period drops to 8 seconds, making things a bit lumpy and less appealing. Wednesday the 8th brings a clean 3ft morning with an offshore NW breeze - good for a sneaky session if you’re keen.
From Thursday the 9th through to the 16th, the surf gets small and inconsistent. There’s a proper lull with energy dropping below 200 and wave heights under 3ft. Not worth paddling out for.
Then things pick up again on Saturday the 18th of July. A new S swell hits 4ft with a 12-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is back up to 681, and the conditions are described as “very good.” This is the second real highlight. Sunday the 19th also has a clean 5ft wave in the afternoon with glassy wind, but by Monday the 20th, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE with a very long 16-second period and a massive 2636 combined energy. That’s a big, powerful groundswell – but the guidance says it’s too big for this break. The wind is cross-on and choppy, so this one’s for the experts only, and even then, it might be a handful. The long period means it’ll be better suited to a point or reef, but Mocambique is exposed and might not handle it well.
So, if you’re picking your days: Sunday July 5th is the absolute standout. Saturday July 18th is the next best bet. The rest is either small, windy, or too big.

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.
