The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Mocambique over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the surf forecast is a mixed bag. The first few days are looking a bit average, with wonky winds and messy conditions. We get a real tease on Sunday the 16th, when a clean 5.6ft easterly swell rolls in with a light north cross-off. That morning has some potential for a few fun ones, with moderate combined wave energy (506), but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch. The wind goes wobbly in the arvo, so try and get on it early.
The standout for the whole period is probably the morning of Wednesday the 19th. We get clean, offshore winds from the NNW at just 6 mph, grooming a 4.3ft ENE swell. The combined energy is a modest 230 but the wind is perfect. That's your best bet for a smooth, clean session without too much hassle.
After that, the window goes quiet for a few days. The next real chance is Saturday the 22nd. There’s a bump of 3.9ft south swell with a nice long 11-second period, giving it some decent push (combined energy of 426). The wind is almost non-existent at just 3 mph from the north, which should keep the surface glassy. That Saturday morning is the pick of that weekend.
Then things get a bit average again. A large 7.9ft south swell arrives on Sunday the 23rd, but it’s hammered by a stiff 12 mph south cross-on wind combining for strong to very strong wave energy (2658). That’s a messy, blown-out affair, and honestly, that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The last real highlight is way out on Friday the 28th. The morning brings clear skies, a light NNW breeze, and a 4.3ft ENE groundswell with a 9-second period. Conditions look very good, with clean waves and combined energy reading 509. It’s promising, but being that far out, take it with a grain of salt.
So the top two sessions to keep an eye on: Wednesday morning (19th) and the morning of Saturday the 22nd. For the one true standout, I’d lock in that Wednesday morning session for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves on offer.
Stay stoked.

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.
