The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. We’re looking at the next couple of weeks, and honestly, for Cocoa, it’s a bit of a frustrating stretch. The numbers just aren't lining up for any kind of proper surf. We've got a long run of weak, short-period wind swell with cross-off winds. The energy is low the whole way through, mostly in the double digits, like 68 to 152, which is just not enough push for this reef to do its thing. It's a consistent spot, but it’s going to look pretty fat and sloppy.
The first real shot at anything is on the 14th and 15th. Monday and Tuesday mornings bring the swell up just a touch, around 4.6ft from the E, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to the 200s, so there’s a bit more life in the water. Winds are cross-off and moderate, which keeps the surface pretty clean. It's surfable, but it’s not going to be memorable. You'll probably snag a few crumbly ones. The Tuesday afternoon drop-off is real, down to 2.9ft, so don’t sleep on that morning window.
After that, we drop right back off. The 19th and 20th see the swell falling to 2.6ft and then 1.6ft, with energy in the 50s and 60s. It’s basically flat. This poor run looks set to hold for a while. We go through the 21st to the 26th with waves under 1.6ft. It’s a long, blank stretch where the only thing on the horizon is a tiny, weak pulse. A bit of a glimmer shows up on the 27th, with a 1.9ft swell from the N, but the period is 11 seconds and the energy reaches 105. It's a tease at best, a sign of life, but still nothing to get excited about for the reef.
So, the honest truth is, there’s no standout day here. The best bet is those few mornings on the 14th and 15th when the swell is at its highest and the wind is keeping it tidy. It’s a case of making the most of small, clean waves rather than hunting for anything big.
This longer stretch of small surf is pretty normal for this area. It’s not a place that’s always pumping. You just have to be patient. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep your board handy for that early window on the 14th, and maybe set the alarm for the 15th too.
Right now, the water temp is about average for the season, so it’s not a factor to stress about.
That’s the long and short of it. I’ll keep an eye on it.

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.
