The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is Mocambique, and it's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. There's a bit of a slow start, but we've got some solid windows to look forward to.
The water's sitting at 65° right now, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Right now, the first real shot is Friday the 28th morning. Swell is 6 ft from the NE, period a short 8 seconds, with a N wind at 9 mph blowing cross-offshore. Combined energy is moderate at 536. It's a bit on the marginal side due to tide, but it's clean. Not the best, but it's something to get wet on.
Saturday the 29th morning is the real standout early on. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the S at 3 mph, with a 6 ft ENE swell and 8 seconds of period. Energy is moderate at 369. It's glassy, clean, and the conditions are good. This is the one to circle for the first week.
Sunday the 30th afternoon is worth a mention too. Glassy conditions again, this time from the SE at 3 mph, with a smaller 4 ft E swell. Energy is weak at 203. It's a fun, small-wave session.
Monday the 31st morning has a light NW offshore wind at 3 mph, a 5 ft E swell with a slightly longer 9-second period, and moderate energy at 385. Conditions are good, so get in before the rain.
Now, things get a bit rough in the middle of next week. From Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday the 3rd, the wind swings onshore and picks up, with a messy cross-on chop. The swell jumps up, especially on Tuesday afternoon with a 8 ft S swell and a massive 1181 energy, but it's blown out and lumpy. Wednesday the 2nd sees a bigger 8 ft SSE swell with 11-second period and 1382 energy, but it's too big for this break and the wind is cross-on. Not for the fainthearted.
We then hit a flat, quiet spell from Friday the 4th through to Tuesday the 8th. The swell drops right off to under 3 ft, and the winds are mostly cross-offshore but weak. There's a small window on Sunday the 6th morning with a light NNW offshore wind, a 3 ft ENE swell, and 210 energy. It's clean, but very small.
The real redeemer comes at the end of the forecast. Friday the 11th morning looks excellent. A 6 ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, light N wind at 6 mph blowing cross-offshore, and combined energy of 694. The conditions are very good and clean. This is the best-looking window in the whole two weeks.
Saturday the 12th also has a couple of good sessions. The morning has a 4 ft S swell with a light NNW cross-offshore breeze and 387 energy. The afternoon sees a 4 ft SSE swell with a 10-second period and 433 energy, with a light NNE wind. Both are clean and good.
Bottom line: hit the glassy morning of Saturday the 29th for the first standout, and then look to Friday the 11th morning for the best surf of the run. The middle of the first week is a write-off, and the second week starts quiet before firing up again.

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.
