The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window shaping up at Mocambique, with the best surf sitting right at the start and then again about a week and a half out. There’s a bit of a lull in the middle, but nothing too painful.

The first recommendation kicks off Saturday, July 25th, with a clean morning. Swell is coming in at a tidy 5ft from the southeast, period at 9 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the NNW at 3 mph. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year, with a slight negative anomaly. The combined energy of all swells is moderate at 408, so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is a great, clean start for intermediates.

Saturday afternoon sees the wind swing cross-on, so the quality drops. Sunday morning, July 26th, is the standout early session. It’s smaller at 3ft from the south, but the period stretches to 12 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, meaning better shaped waves and longer lulls. Wind is cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The energy is still moderate at 364. This is the pick of the first week for a relaxed, fun session.

Monday morning, July 27th, is tiny but glassy – 3ft from the ESE, 8-second period, and dead calm wind. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The energy is down to 167. Monday afternoon and Tuesday are poor, with messy wind and small chop.

There’s a real gap from Wednesday, July 29th, through to Friday, July 31st morning. The swell stays small, under 3ft, and conditions are ordinary or poor. Friday morning, July 31st, is the next real highlight: 4ft from the south, 12-second period, clean cross-off wind from the north at 6 mph. The energy is strong at 411. That’s a solid session for intermediates.

The following weekend, August 1st and 2nd, is weak and messy. But then Monday, August 3rd, is the absolute standout of the whole forecast. Morning session sees 3ft from the SSE, but the period is a cracking 13 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 580. Wind is clean cross-off from the north at 9 mph. For a south-facing, exposed break, that long-period SSE groundswell is going to wrap in beautifully. This is a true gem – don’t miss it.

Tuesday, August 4th, is still good with 4ft SE swell at 9 seconds and clean cross-off wind. Energy is 279. Wednesday, August 5th, is glassy again with 4ft from the ENE, 8-second period, and 317 energy – a nice, clean morning. The rest of that week fades into poor conditions, with onshore winds and chop.

The final standout is Sunday, August 9th, with 5ft from the ENE, 8-second period, clean cross-off wind from the north at 6 mph, and 288 energy. It’s a solid end to the run.

Mocambique is fairly consistent and exposed to the southeast, so it picks up a lot of what’s around. Crowds are sometimes, so you might have company on the best days. The optimum swell direction is southeast, and the main standouts – Sunday 26th and Monday 3rd – both have swell from the south or SSE, which is close enough to deliver.

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.
