The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at the surf outlook for Cocoa.
To be honest, it's a tough start. We're looking at a pretty long, quiet run here. The first real chance of anything decent won't show up until the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, and even then, it's only a marginal call. Before that, from Monday the 3rd through to Friday the 7th, it's a total write-off – tiny waves, poor conditions, and just nothing to get excited about. That's a solid five days of flatness.
The first flicker of life comes on Saturday the 8th. The morning swell jumps to 5ft from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (203). The problem is it's cross-off wind, and the forecast only calls it marginal. Not worth paddling out for. The pattern continues through the weekend and into the next week; the swell is there but the quality is poor, with cross-off winds and that short, choppy period.
The standout period, and the only time I'd genuinely get the boards out, is from the 14th of August. The morning of Friday the 14th sees a solid 8ft of east swell, period pushing 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 798. It's a lot of water moving. The wind is cross-off, which is a positive, but the forecast is still only marginal. By the afternoon, energy is even higher at 859, but it's the same story. This swell is big – over 8ft – so it's strictly for experts. The short period means it'll be a bit lumpy, but there's power there.
The morning of Saturday the 15th holds at 8ft, still strong energy at 770, and the wind stays cross-off. Again, expert-only territory. Sunday the 16th is a touch smaller at 7ft, with energy at 690, and still cross-off. It's the best of the run, but it's not perfect. The water is a warm 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
After that, the swell fades through the 17th and 18th, dropping back to 6ft and then 5ft, with the energy dropping off too. The wind stays cross-off, but the quality is poor again.
So, for the whole 16 days, the only real standouts are the 14th and 15th of August, with the morning of the 14th being the best on offer. It's a solid, powerful swell, but it's big, short-period, and the wind won't be perfect. It's a gamble, but it's the only gamble in town.
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.
