Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cocoa over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it.
Well, folks, it’s a tough run ahead. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in the lot. The whole period is plagued by strong, consistent cross-off and cross-shore winds that kill any chance of real quality. The surf is there, but it’s messy and uninspiring.
Starting off on Tuesday, the 7th of July, we’ve got some chest-high swell around 6ft pushing in from the ENE with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at best (427). But the wind is howling out of the East at 16 mph, blowing cross-off. It’s clean but the poor surf conditions are a no-go. That sets the tone.
We go through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and into the weekend – the swell stays in that 6ft to 8ft range, all short-period (7-9 seconds), with East winds blowing 16 to 22 mph. Energy ticks up on Wednesday with a moderate 625, and hits a peak Thursday morning at 751, but it’s all for nothing. The wind keeps things junky, and the wave comment is consistently “marginal” or “poor.” This is expert-level size for sure, over 7ft at times, but with that wind it’s a battle, not a joyride.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. From the 14th through to the 22nd of July, it’s the same story: 4ft to 6ft of short-period E/ENE swell, energy dropping back into the 200s and 300s, and winds that just won't quit out of the East or ENE. The water temp is hovering around a normal 83° for the time of year, but that’s small comfort.
The only break on the board is Cocoa, a reef setup that’s generally consistent and exposed to the north, which isn’t even our swell direction. The optimum swell is from the north, but we’re getting straight east and east-northeast. That mismatch, combined with the relentless wind, means there’s nothing to recommend.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16 days, there isn't a single slot I’d point you to. It’s a blank run. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re into that, because the wind is strong and cross-shore. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch of coast is a write-off.
Stay patient.

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.
