The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for the coming days.
The surf is looking pretty straightforward, with a bit of a slow start but some real potential later on. We're kicking off on Thursday, 23rd July, but it's nothing to get excited about. The swell is small and messy, and the wind is all over the place. Thursday morning has a 4ft ENE swell, but it's cross-shore and the energy is low, so it's a pass. The afternoon gets worse with a strong 12 mph cross-shore bumping things up.
Friday, 24th July, is a write-off. The swell gets a bit bigger to 5ft, but it's cross-onshore and choppy, with the energy feeling pushed around. Not worth it.
Now, Saturday, 25th July, is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is a real standout. We've got a clean 5ft SE swell, but the magic is in the wind: glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is moderate, and with that SE swell, it should line up nicely. This is the best session of the first week. The afternoon is still rideable, but the wind swings onshore, so get it while it's good.
Sunday, 26th July, the swell drops to 3ft from the S, but the period is a long 12 seconds, giving it some punch. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, and the energy is moderate. It'll be a fun smaller day, but not the highlight.
Into the next week, things get a bit quiet. Monday, 27th July, is clean but tiny (2ft), and the energy is fading. Tuesday, 28th July, is glassy but small (2ft). We're basically in a waiting game until the weekend.
The next real standout is Saturday, 1st August. The morning brings a 5ft ENE swell with a cross-off wind and solid energy. But the afternoon is the winner: 6ft ENE swell, glassy conditions, and strong energy. That's a classic clean session.
Then Sunday, 2nd August, gets interesting, but it's for the experienced crew. The morning is 6ft with a cross-off, but the afternoon has a 7ft S swell with a 10-second period and massive energy. The reports say it might be too big for the break, but for a confident surfer, that's a big, powerful wave. Monday, 3rd August, is a mess with 19 mph winds and a 7ft SSE swell, so skip it.
The last true standout is Wednesday, 5th August. The morning is glassy with a 4ft SE swell, a long 13-second period, and very strong energy. The conditions are about as good as it gets. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off, and the swell is still fun at 4ft.
So, to wrap it up: the best bets are Saturday, 25th July for the glassy morning, and Saturday, 1st August for the afternoon glass. The long-range gem is Wednesday, 5th August, but that's a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Stay stoked, and don't get caught inside.
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.
