The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it up to feet and knots for you.
We’ve got surf on the way, but you gotta work around the lumpy days. First real look is Wednesday morning: glassy conditions, waves around 4ft from the ENE, period about 8 seconds. Water temp is normal for this time of year. That afternoon the wind goes light cross-off from the NNE, waves drop to 4ft from the south with a longer 10-second period – cleaner lines. The combined energy is moderate (494).
Thursday morning brings light rain and a cross-off NNE breeze. Surf is 3ft from the south, period 12 seconds – that’s some proper groundswell. Energy is still moderate (490). Thursday afternoon is the early standout: 3ft from the SSE with a 15-second period, really long lines. Wind is cross-off from the NNW, combined energy at (501). That’s a point break dream.
Friday morning stays clean with a cross-off NNW wind at 12 knots, but waves drop to 2ft from the south, period 12 seconds, energy down to (274). Friday afternoon gets rainy and a little messy.
Then from Saturday the 12th through Tuesday the 15th, it gets average. Saturday sees 8ft to 8ft south swell, but blown out by strong cross-onshore winds (16 knots) and short period (8-10 seconds). Combined energy blows up to (861-1596), but it’s lumpy – leave that for the kite surfers. Sunday stays onshore with 7-7ft from the SSE/SE. Monday and Tuesday are choppy and cross-onshore, not worth it.
We get a real reset on Thursday the 17th. Morning has a 4ft SSE swell, 13-second period, with a light cross-off breeze from the NNE. Combined energy is (699) – that’s moderate to strong. Clean, long-period groundswell. This is the best.
Friday the 18th morning is also beautiful: offshore NW wind at 6 knots, 4ft south swell at 12 seconds, combined energy (550). Waves will be clean and lined up. Friday afternoon holds with 3ft and a cross-off NE breeze.
The weekend of the 19th-20th is small and onshore, nothing special. But Monday the 21st has dead calm wind, glassy, with 4ft from the east, period 8 seconds, combined energy (323). Good for a dawn session.
Wednesday the 23rd morning sees 5ft from the ENE with a cross-off north breeze, clean. Thursday the 24th repeats the glassy setup with another 5ft ENE swell.
The standout window is Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th. Clean winds, decent swell, long period energy. Crowds are possible at Mocambique, so get out early.

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.
