The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about Cocoa. This reef break is consistent and exposed, with the best swell coming from the N. Water temp is about 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
We start off quiet. Wednesday the 22nd has tiny 1ft to 3ft NNE and E swell, short period of 6 to 7 seconds, and low energy (20 to 99). The wind is cross-off but the swell is useless. Thursday the 23rd is similar – 4ft to 4ft E swell, still short, energy moderate (150 and 134), and a cross-chop in the afternoon. Not worth it.
Friday the 24th shows a pulse: 5ft ENE swell, period up to 8 seconds, energy climbing to 254 to 266. Wind stays cross-off, clean. It’s marginal but the first real hope. Saturday the 25th holds 5ft to 5ft ENE swell, similar conditions, but risk of thunderstorms. Sunday the 26th drops to 4ft to 5ft.
The best window is Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 30th. Tuesday morning has 6ft E swell, energy at 341, and by afternoon it’s 6ft with 413 energy. Wednesday the 29th is the standout: 7ft E swell, period still 8 seconds, but energy jumps to 593 and 608 – that’s strong. Winds are cross-off from the E, fresh breeze in the morning easing to moderate. The surf is clean, but at 7ft this is for experts only. The reef will be pumping.
Thursday the 30th holds at 7ft to 6ft, energy still high (576 to 522). After that, it fades through early August, with 5ft to 7ft swell but the quality drops. The real call is Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th – biggest swell, highest energy, clean conditions. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might see a few others out. If you can handle it, that’s the time.
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.
