The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Cocoa. It’s a reef break, fires up on a north swell, and it’s consistent. Water temp is about 84°, which is normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the next week and a half looks pretty average. The wind is stuck in a cross-off pattern, mostly from the east, and it’s not that glassy. Swell direction is east to east-northeast, which is a bit off the magic angle for this spot. Swell heights are small for the first few days, running 2ft to 3ft, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The energy is weak, around 71 to 129 (weak energy). You can get a wave, but it won’t be a beauty.
From Thursday the 5th through Monday the 9th, the swell builds to 4ft to 6ft, but the period stays short and the wind is always a cross-off breeze, often moderate to fresh. The energy climbs from 146 (weak) up to 535 (moderate energy) by Wednesday the 9th. But the forecast keeps saying "poor surf conditions" or "marginal." It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The best of the bunch comes around Tuesday the 10th and Wednesday the 11th, with swell hitting 6ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and energy in the mid-300s to 400s (moderate energy). Even then, the wind is cross-off and fresh, so it’s not clean. For a reef, with that short period and cross-off wind, it’s going to be a bit lumpy. This is a session for the locals who know the break.
After the 12th, it’s a long run of poor surf. By Friday the 18th, the swell is down to 3ft with only 69 (weak energy) and the wind is still cross-off. There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 12th onward.
So, the one highlight is the morning of Saturday the 12th, with 6ft east swell, but it’s cross-off and a moderate breeze. It’s the best of a mediocre bunch.
Rusty.

Information about the Cocoa Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cocoa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cocoa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cocoa 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 (Cocoa) 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 Cocoa 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.
Cocoa is 6 km (4 miles) from Petite Riviere Salee. If you plan a holiday in Martinique, look for hotels and other accommodation in Petite Riviere Salee. Petite Riviere Salee has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
