The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Mocambique. The next couple of days are a write-off – messy winds and lumpy conditions. But hang tight, because things start to clean up nicely from Tuesday the 8th.
The first real window opens up on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze with a solid 5ft swell from the SSE rolling in (606 combined energy). It’s moderate energy, but the conditions will be smooth. This is a standout for the intermediate surfer who wants a clean, user-friendly wave without getting hammered.
That afternoon the wind swings cross and drops the energy a touch, but the real gem is Wednesday the 9th. The morning looks clean with a 7ft NE swell, but here’s the catch – the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. Over 8ft on the 14th is expert-only territory, so by Wednesday the 9th, that 7ft is pushing the limits for most. The wind is clean, but be mindful of the size.
Thursday the 10th offers another taste of the good life. A glassy morning with a 6ft easterly swell (555 combined energy). Clean conditions and decent energy. Then Friday the 11th? Almost perfect. Glassy conditions again in the morning with a 6ft swell from the ENE. That’s your best bet for a session with no wind and clean lines.
After that, the forecast gets patchy. Winds strengthen and the clean windows get shorter. By the 14th, we’re looking at an 8ft swell from the ESE, which is too big for most. The 15th looks glassy but the swell is again pushing the big end at 7ft – keep that in mind.
Overall, the standout sessions are Tuesday morning the 8th and Friday morning the 11th. Clean, consistent, and manageable size. Don’t sleep on Thursday the 10th either.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
