The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real swell to get excited about shows up on the morning of Friday the 17th, with a clean 5ft swell from the ENE. The water is way colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 60°, so you’ll want a solid 4/3 and maybe some booties if you’re heading out.
The standout period is the morning of Sunday the 19th. We’ve got 7ft of NE swell, and it’s packing some serious energy (894). The wind is a gentle offshore from the north, keeping the surface clean. This is the best combo of size and quality we’ll see for a while, and it’s a proper morning session for the confident intermediate crew.
Another one to circle is Saturday the 25th. The morning glass-off with a 6ft SSE groundswell at a long 12 seconds is a dream. The wave energy is huge (1035), so this is for experienced surfers only. The faces will be lined up and clean, making it a true standout for the second week.
On the morning of Tuesday the 21st, we get a 5ft ENE swell with a light offshore wind. It’s a nice, clean, workable option for the intermediate crowd, but nothing that’ll blow your mind.
There’s a bit of a dodgy patch around the 24th. That Friday afternoon sees a 7ft southerly with cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, blown-out affair. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The week of the 22nd has some glassy moments, especially the afternoon of the 22nd with a 4ft south swell and glassy conditions, and again on the afternoon of the 26th with a clean 3ft SSE swell. These are small but fun for a longboard or a fish.
The final few days drop off in size and consistency, with the 28th looking pretty ordinary. The big southerly on the 31st (8ft at 11 seconds) comes with a fresh cross-onshore wind, so it’s a choppy, lumpy mess, best left for the hardcore.
Overall, the best bets are the morning of the 19th for the biggest clean swell, and the morning of the 25th for the glassy, long-period groundswell. Don’t sleep on that Sunday the 19th.
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.
