Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Cocoa’s got cooking. It’s a pretty flat outlook overall. The swell is consistent from the east, but the wind is the main character in this story, and it’s not a friendly one. Water temp is 83°, right where it should be for July.
The action starts Monday July 6th with surf around 6 ft from the east. Period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit messy. Combined energy is moderate at 405. Wind is cross-off from the east at 15 mph, keeping it clean but not stellar. It’s a marginal day, just a quick session to stay in the groove.
Tuesday the 7th sees similar 6 ft east swell, wind stays cross-off, but with afternoon storm risk and combined energy at 427, conditions are poor. Skip it.
Wednesday the 8th pushes up to 7 ft and energy jumps to 643. The wind, however, cranks to 21 mph from the ENE in the afternoon, turning into a fresh cross-shore that’ll leave a bumpy surface. Morning stays cross-off, so if you’re a solid intermediate with a reef board, you could make it work. It’s below that 8 ft expert-only threshold, but beginners should sit this one out.
Thursday the 9th is the best we get. Surf holds at 8 ft, period stretches to 9 seconds, and combined energy hits 822—strong. Wind is still cross-off from the east at 18 mph, with clear skies for the afternoon. The call is marginal, but if you look at the numbers, this is the cleanest, most powerful window of the whole run. Thursday morning or afternoon is the pick of the lot. The Cocoa reef might just throw you a nice right hander.
From Friday the 10th all the way to Tuesday the 21st, it’s a monotonous stretch. Swell hangs between 5 ft and 7 ft from the east, period mostly 7–8 seconds. Wind never turns truly offshore, staying cross or cross-off. Energy values bounce from 250 to 680, but every session is rated poor or marginal. Crowds are listed as sometimes, but with this quality, you’ll have the water to yourself.
There’s no real standout here. Thursday the 9th is the only day that might get your heart pumping. If the conditions stay poor for a while, remember this is a typical summer pattern; it can flip fast. For now, don’t get too excited.
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.
