Ponta Mamoli

Ponta Mamoli is a beach break located on Mozambique's southern coast facing east toward the Indian Ocean. The spot features a narrow strip of sandy beach bordered by dense forest and agricultural land, with consistent ocean swell rolling in from the southeast. The coastline orientation toward open ocean exposes the break to significant Atlantic-Indian Ocean swells, generating the observed 1.47m average waves with rough water conditions. Best conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds that provide side-shore orientation, keeping the rider parallel to the beach while maintaining control. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with small to moderate swell and variable wind conditions. Low wind reliability (9.8%) is a significant limitation requiring careful session planning around weather windows. Water temperatures around 22.8°C are moderately warm. Key considerations include timing entry/exit through shallow water, monitoring swell intensity, and understanding local currents in the break zone. The remote forest setting offers isolation but limited rescue infrastructure.
