The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a long stretch of small, wind-affected surf through the first week. The wind is mostly cross-off from the east, so the surface stays clean, but the swell is weak and the period is short. The waves just aren’t packing much punch. The water temperature is 84°F, with an anomaly of 0.7°F, so it’s about average for this time of year—nothing to write home about.
The first real standout hits on Saturday, August 29th. The morning session at Cocoa is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the east-northeast, with a moderate 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 740 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the east at 15 mph, so the waves will be clean. This is a reef break and it’s consistently exposed to the swell. The swell direction is east-northeast, which is off from the optimum north, but the size and clean conditions make it worth a paddle. Keep in mind, the swell is over 5ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners, and at 8ft in the afternoon, that session is only for experts, with the wind going cross-shore and choppy.
Sunday the 30th still has some decent energy in the morning with 7ft from the east, period 9 seconds, and combined energy of 692 (moderate). The wind is still cross-off, so it’ll be clean. A solid option, but not as punchy as Saturday.
After that, the swell drops back into the 4ft to 5ft range, with the same cross-off wind and short periods. The energy stays in the 200-360 range (weak to moderate). It’s surfable, but nothing to get stoked about. The last week of the outlook is similar—small, clean, but uninspiring. There’s a big drop on September 2nd afternoon with only 1ft, so don’t bother.
Bottom line: Saturday the 29th morning is your best bet. Sunday the 30th morning is a solid backup. The rest of the run is a bit of a wait-and-see.
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.
