Praia Tofo surf guide

Praia Tofo is a popular surf spot located in Mozambique, known for its laid-back vibe and scenic beauty. The beach features a soft right point break and a nice inside beachbreak that keeps the waves generally small and fun, making it a great choice for beginners and longboarders. This spot has a friendly atmosphere, where surfers of all levels can enjoy the water without feeling overwhelmed.

The surf at Praia Tofo works best with a Southeast swell and can handle sizes around 1ft (0.3m). You can expect a mix of lefts and rights, with the beachbreak providing fun surfable waves. The left shorebreak near a rock groin comes alive from mid to low tide, offering a little more punch. If the wind has been blowing from the northeast for a few days, you might want to check out the lefts further north in front of Bamboozi beach lodge. The ideal wind here is from the Southwest, and the waves are surfable during low, mid, and high tides, so there's plenty of opportunity throughout the day.

For those looking to practice or improve their skills, the spot is beginner-friendly, making it perfect for learning and longboarding. Thanks to the natural protection in the corner from any south wind, you can often enjoy a more sheltered session. Overall, Praia Tofo is a solid option for surfers looking for a chill surf day in a beautiful setting.

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.
