The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break down the Mocambique outlook in feet and miles per hour.
We start slow. Tuesday the 21st has a small 5ft ENE swell, 8-second period, with a cross-off NNE breeze at 9 mph. Water temp is 64°, a bit cooler than normal – grab a wetsuit. Limited energy (274).
Wednesday the 22nd is a dud with rain and small waves. Thursday the 23rd blows out with strong S winds at 16 mph and a messy 7ft S swell – too big and choppy for most. Friday the 24th is average with 7ft SSE swell and light onshore wind.
First real window: Saturday the 25th morning. Offshore NW wind at 9 mph, 6ft SE swell (9 seconds), clean and ‘very good’. You might have the place nearly to yourself.
Sunday the 26th morning is another clean slot – light W offshore at 6 mph, 3ft S groundswell with a 12-second period. That long period gives better shape.
Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th are small and ordinary – under 4ft. Not worth the drive.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are straight-up messy with S winds and lumpy surf – leave it for the kite crew.
Now the good stuff. Saturday, August 1st – morning serves 6ft ENE swell, clean cross-off N wind at 12 mph. Afternoon switches to a 4ft SSE groundswell with a 13-second period – that’s proper.
Sunday, August 2nd is the highlight. Morning has 6ft ENE swell with strong energy (1068) and clean wind. Afternoon: 5ft SE swell, 12-second period, still clean. This is the day.
Monday, August 3rd – glassy morning, 4ft SE swell at 12 seconds. Beautiful.
Tuesday, August 4th is the standout for experienced surfers. Glassy, 4ft SE groundswell with a 13-second period, energy at 1037 – powerful, clean, and world-class. Dawn patrol calls.
Wednesday the 5th gets wrecked by S winds at 19 mph. Done.
So, first week is hit-and-miss with one clean Saturday. Second week, from August 1st through the 4th, is where the magic lives. Mark it.
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.
