The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Mocambique. The next few days are pretty ordinary. Thursday the 6th has a small 2ft SSE swell with a light offshore, but the energy is weak and it’s nothing special. Friday the 7th is worse – wind goes cross-shore and then cross-on, swell picks up to 3-5ft, but it’s choppy and poor.
Saturday the 8th is the real standout. We’ve got a 6ft south swell with a long 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell and it’s got serious energy. The wind is light and cross-off, so the surf will be clean. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 5ft. The swell direction is south, and Mocambique is exposed to the south, so it’s lining up perfectly. The afternoon holds similar at 6ft. This is your best day.
Sunday the 9th goes bad – onshore wind and 8ft swell, messy and choppy.
Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 12th is frustrating. The swell stays solid at 6-7ft with 12-second periods, but the wind is cross-on and it’s ugly. Wednesday afternoon gets glassy, but the swell is too big for the break at 7ft.
Thursday the 13th drops to 4-5ft from the SSE with clean conditions and cross-off wind. A solid session, but not a standout.
The second week is mixed. Sunday the 16th morning has glassy conditions with a 4ft SSE swell – a nice clean, small-wave window. Tuesday the 18th is another highlight: a 6ft ESE swell with offshore wind and clean conditions. That’s a good one for experienced surfers.
Crowds can pop up sometimes at Mocambique, especially on the good days.

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.
