The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Cocoa.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. The first week is largely a write-off. We’ve got a solid wedge of swell running from the 13th to the 16th, with combined energy values hitting four digits (412 to 1903), so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. But the problem is the wind. It’s tearing straight out of the east and east-northeast at 18 to 25 mph, and it’s either cross or cross-offshore. That means the surface is chopped up and lumpy. The waves are there, but they’re ugly. The swell period is sitting around 8 to 10 seconds, so it’s a mix of windswell and some groundswell, but it’s all getting smashed by the breeze. This stretch is really more for kites than paddle surfers.
From Sunday the 16th afternoon, things start to settle. The swell drops steadily. By Tuesday the 19th, we’re down to 3 ft with a gentle breeze and clean conditions. The energy is weak (156). It’s surfable but very ordinary. The real standout comes on Thursday the 20th. Thursday morning at Cocoa is looking like a moment of glory. The wind goes completely glassy (0 mph), and we’ve got a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the east-northeast with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 181, so it’s not powerful, but it will be clean, lined up, and the reef should offer some shape. This is the best on offer for the next two weeks. It’s a small window, so grab it.
After that, from the 21st onward, it’s a long, drawn-out stretch of mostly poor surf. The swell stays between 4 ft and 5 ft, period drops to 7 seconds (short-period windswell), and the wind is a persistent moderate breeze from the east and east-southeast, cross-offshore. The energy is in the 100 to 200 range—weak. There are a few mornings on the 24th and 26th that creep into “marginal” territory, but nothing to get excited about. The consistency is poor, and the quality just isn’t there.
So, bottom line: if you’re free on Thursday the 20th morning, get out there. Otherwise, this is a two-week stretch to keep the hopes low.
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.
