The Lowdown

Right, listen up. Rusty here. Let's have a look at the charts for our patch.

To be honest, the next couple of weeks aren't going to give us much to get excited about at Cocoa. We're looking at a solid run of cross-offshore winds from the east, but the problem is the swell. It's just not got any punch to it. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate all the way through, and the period is short, hanging around the 7 to 8 second mark. That's windswell, not the good stuff. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a steamer.

Let's start with the early part. Tuesday, the 8th, we have 5ft easterly swell with a 7-second period, and the energy is a weak 360. The wind is a cross-offshore at 16 mph, which would normally be alright, but the surf quality is just poor. Wednesday morning, the 9th, the swell bumps up to 7ft east at 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to a moderate 616. That's the biggest swell of the whole run, but it's still a short period windswell and the wind stays a stiff 19 mph cross-off. The forecast is marginal, so it's a maybe, but don't hold your breath. Thursday and Friday are more of the same: 6ft to 6ft east swell, moderate energy in the 300-500 range, but the wind is still fresh and the conditions are either poor or marginal. Saturday, the 12th, sees the swell start to drop back, and by Sunday, the 13th, we're down to 5ft east swell with an energy of just 215.

There's a real gap here. From the 13th right through to the 19th of September, the surf is just flat or poor. The swell drops to 4ft to 4ft, and the energy is down in the 100-200 range. The wind is still howling out of the east, making it messy. Even though the wind is technically cross-offshore, the lack of any decent swell means it's not worth paddling out for.

Now, look ahead to the 22nd of September. There might be a small pulse again. Tuesday morning shows a 6ft easterly swell with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps back to 442. It's still a short period, and the wind is 16 mph cross-off, but the forecast is marginal. It's a long way out, so don't go planning your week around it, but it's something to keep an eye on. After that, it drops off again.

The standout, if you can call it that, is the Wednesday morning of the 9th. The swell hits 7ft and the energy is at its highest (616), but it's only for the brave. The wind is up, the period is short, and the forecast is only marginal. It's not the clean, lined-up stuff we want. Cocoa is a reef, so it can handle a bit of swell, but with that short period, the waves will be fat and won't have much push. The optimum swell direction is from the north, and we're getting easterly windswell, so it's all wrong.

Honestly, for the next week or so, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is consistent and strong, but the waves are just too weak and short-period to bother with a surfboard. For the first week, there's really nothing to recommend. The second week, the 22nd, is a distant maybe.

Stay patient. The surf will come back.

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.
