Righto, grab your wettie, let's have a look at what Mocambique has in store for us. It's been a bit of a quiet start, but there's some real magic on the horizon.
The first proper chance to get wet kicks off on Wednesday morning, July 8th. It's small, with a clean 3ft S swell going, period hanging around 9 seconds, but the wind is glassy. We're talking weak energy here (267), just a little bump to get your log out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit should be fine.
Thursday the 9th stays pretty similar, with a dropping 3ft ESE swell but clean offshore winds in the morning. The energy is still modest (216). Keep expectations in check.
Now, lock in Saturday the 11th. This is where it gets good. Overnight a nice 4ft ESE groundswell rolls in, with a solid 13-second period. The energy jumps right up to 680, and we get glassy conditions all day long—morning and afternoon. That's the standout for the near term. Clean, lined-up waves for the intermediate crew.
Sunday the 12th holds on nicely with a 3ft to 4ft SE swell and clean, cross-off breezes. The energy stays punchy at around 578 in the morning and 615 in the afternoon. Very good conditions.
Heads up for Monday the 13th—that's a big one. The swell spikes to 8ft from the S, but it's a short-period wind swell (8 seconds) and the wind is a choppy cross-onshore. The energy is enormous (1022), but honestly, that's too big for this break and messy with it. This is more of a kite day if you're into that.
The next real gem comes on Tuesday morning, July 14th. The swell drops back to a clean 6ft from the S, 10-second period, and again… glass. The energy is a solid 603, and it'll be absolutely firing for the better surfers.
Wednesday the 15th sees a 6ft SE swell with a 12-second period, but the wind is a bit stronger cross-off. Still clean, but not quite as perfect. Energy is high at 945.
Thursday the 16th morning is another glassy morning. Dead calm wind, a 5ft SE swell with a nice 12-second interval, and energy at 561. Excellent quality for a mid-week session.
After that, the surf tapers off. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th offer some smaller 3-4ft clean waves, but nothing to get too excited about. The energy drops back into the 300-400 range. Into the second week, Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd show some small, clean E swells around 3ft with onshore winds developing in the afternoons. Thursday the 23rd looks choppy and poor.
So, the two true standouts are clear: Saturday July 11th and Tuesday morning July 14th. Both have that glassy wind and a solid, lined-up swell. Get on it.

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.
