The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this surf outlook for Mocambique underway.
The next couple of days are pretty flat and messy, so don’t get too excited. We’ve got some weak, chopped-out waves on Sunday, with nothing rideable. That carries into Monday, with a bit of a drop in size, but the conditions are still ordinary. We're looking at a slow start, a few days of nothing really.
Then things start to wake up around Tuesday, the 4th. The swell direction swings around to the south, and we get a long-period groundswell starting to push in. It’s a bit small to start, but that energy is there, and the conditions are clean. Don’t expect much though.
The 8th brings a new pulse of south swell, but it’s coming in with a cross-onshore wind, making a mess of things. The size jumps up on the 8th, and it’s just too big and stormy for the break to handle. That trend continues on the 9th with a much stronger, longer-period swell, but the wind is howling from the south, so it’s all chop and lump. Not good.
The 11th sees the biggest swell of the period, a proper southwest groundswell that just thumps in. It’s way oversized though, with around 10 feet of raw power. This is advanced-only territory, and even then, it looks like a washing machine with a strong cross-onshore wind. We cool off after that, but the swell stays solid and the conditions remain iffy.
The real standout comes on the 14th – the Friday. The wind drops right out, it’s glassy, and we have a solid 5 feet of south groundswell. This will be the cleanest morning of the whole stretch. Friday, the 14th of August is the day to make the call.
Saturday the 15th is also decent, with a touch less size but more offshore flow in the morning, keeping things clean. After that, it fades out again.
For the second week, the 16th and 17th have some fun, smaller waves with clean conditions, but nothing epic. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
So, to be straight with you—this forecast is mostly about waiting. The week starts poor, the middle is too big and messy, but Friday the 14th is your best bet for a proper surf. Mark 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.
