The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the Mocambique region over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, honestly. The first few days aren't really offering much to write home about. The surf is small and pretty ordinary, with a few clean windows but nothing that'll get you out of bed early. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real magic starts to brew up around the 11th of August. That’s where the charts start to get seriously interesting. We’re looking at a big pulse of energy from the south, with a long period swell that’s packing some serious grunt. The combined energy on the 11th morning is a beastly 1676, and it just keeps building. The wind is light, and it’s a cross-shore, but here’s the thing: the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. At 9.8ft, this is for experts only. Beginners, stay on the sand.
Now, the *real* standout window kicks off on the afternoon of the 12th of August. The swell drops a touch but still has plenty of power, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a word we love to hear. The 13th of August is a stunner, with a 4.9ft to 6.2ft south swell, period around 13-14 seconds, and the wind is dead calm. These conditions are clean, powerful, and the swell direction is right in the slot for the optimum SE direction. The combined energy is through the roof, hitting 2102 on the afternoon of the 13th. This is a proper groundswell with a long period, so it’ll be lining up nice and clean at Mocambique. Expect clean, glassy faces and proper waves. The crowds are rated as "sometimes", so you might have a few friends out, but it’s not a full-on circus.
For the best on offer, I’m calling it: Thursday 13th August and Friday 14th August are the days to circle. The 14th morning is still showing 4.9ft of south swell with glassy, clean conditions. It’s a long period swell, so be ready for bigger sets and longer lulls, but the payoff will be worth it. This is a true stand-out spell of quality south swell and perfect wind.

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.
