The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk waves. Rusty here. For the start of this forecast period, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing to get stoked about. The first few days are small, weak, and short-period. Swell will be around 1-3 feet, coming from the east-northeast with a period of 7-8 seconds. The energy is weak, only reading in the 100s. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’s not junk, but it’s gutless. You’ll get some ankle-biters and maybe a waist-high ripple, but nothing with any push.
Then, things get serious. Starting Sunday the 9th, a big southerly groundswell shows up. We go from 3-foot mush to 6-8 foot and raw. The period jumps to 13-14 seconds, and the energy is cranking, reading 957 and then 2125. This is a powerful swell, but the wind is going to be a problem, coming from the south at 20-30 km/h, making it cross-onshore and lumpy. This is expert territory only, and even for them, it will be a battle.
The swell stays big into the start of the following week. Monday the 10th has 6-7 foot waves, and Tuesday the 11th is predicted to be even bigger, up to 10 feet. The models are saying it's too big for the break, and they're right. With onshore winds, it will be a close-out mess and a rough paddle. This is more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day. The heaviest of it should start to back down by Wednesday, but it will still be a solid 5-8 feet. There is a potential for a cleaner window later in the week as the wind eases, but the size will be dropping too.
The only real standout here is that massive swell from the 9th through the 12th, but it comes with poor conditions. For the average surfer, it’s a waiting game. The energy is there, but you need the wind to cooperate. Water temp is about average, so a spring suit should do. I’d keep an eye on the charts for the weekend after, as that groundswell might leave behind some cleaner leftovers.
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.
