The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days for Mosqueiro are a tough watch. We’ve got a river break that’s exposed to the south, but the wind is pretty much always on it or cross-on, and the wave quality is just not there. There are no standouts in this period at all; every single session is rated as poor or marginal. The whole run is a blank, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the conditions don’t line up.
Things kick off Tuesday, 4 August, with some morning sickness. There’s a 6ft swell from the SE, period a short 8 seconds, and that ESE wind is blowing straight onshore at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 492, but the wind has it messy. Water temp is a normal 79° for this time of year. It’s poor out there.
Wednesday the 5th sees a drop to 4ft in the morning from the ESE, still that short 8-second period, and a light 6 mph onshore breeze. It’s marginal at best, and the afternoon turns cross-on and choppy. Through Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, we’re stuck in the same groove: 3ft to 4ft, cross-on winds from the east, and combined energy dropping into the 200s. The surf is poor and it’s a messy beach-break feel.
Saturday the 8th is a weird one – morning has 4ft from the E at a short 7 seconds, then the afternoon switches to a 2ft swell from the S with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is 227, but the wind is still cross-on at 12 mph, so it’s a choppy, weak affair. Not worth getting wet for.
Into the second week, it doesn’t get any better. Sunday the 9th has rain showers and 4ft from the ESE, Monday the 10th drops to 4ft onshore… it’s all the same story. The 14th of August shows some longer period swells – 5ft from the S with a 12-second period and moderate energy (610), but it’s still cross-on wind and marginal at best. The 16th has a 4ft S swell at 12 seconds but again, cross-on breeze and poor conditions.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s no day where the wind turns offshore, the swell cleans up, and the break lines up. That river mouth needs a clean southerly groundswell with light offshore winds to work, and we’re just not getting it. It’s a kite surfer’s dream maybe, but for paddle surfing, you’d be wasting your time. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor forever.

Information about the Mosqueiro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mosqueiro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mosqueiro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mosqueiro 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 (Mosqueiro) 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 Mosqueiro 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.
Mosqueiro is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Sao Cristovao. If you plan a holiday in Sergipe, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sao Cristovao. Sao Cristovao has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
