MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL
Background
It is not wise to consider cruising in the Mozambique Channel between November and May as this is both the rainy and cyclone season. Towards the southern end of this region, a high incidence of cold fronts and gales can be experienced between July and August.
The Mozambique current is south flowing and because of the long cyclone season and the possible winter gales, renders this region as comfortable for cruising for only about six months of the year. But, for those six months, it is wonderful, interesting cruising.
