The Lowdown
Alright, let's cut the crap and talk about what we've got. It’s a 16-day forecast for Cocoa (Cocoa), and to be honest, it’s a bit of a slow burn. The water’s sitting right around average for the season, so the suit’s all good.
The first weekend is a total washout. Saturday the 15th has some serious size at 13ft, but the wind is screaming at 28 mph with thunderstorms. It’s a mess, and the energy is way too high at 2978 to even think about it. Sunday the 16th is still big at 7ft, but the wind is still up at 16 mph, making it junky.
The first real chance we get is Monday the 18th. Swell drops to a more user-friendly 4ft, the wind backs off to 9 mph, and the energy is weak to moderate at 226. It says “expect good surf conditions,” which is the first time we’ve heard that. Tuesday the 19th looks similar, just a little smaller.
The middle of the week gets messy again. Thursday the 20th sees a bump in energy (253), but the period is short and the wind picks up. It’s just not worth the paddle.
The whole second week is mostly that same story – small, short-period, and average. You got waves in the 3-5ft range with 7-8 second periods. It’s clean, but it’s just… there.
But listen, there is one day that stands out above everything else. Monday the 24th of August. We get a solid 6ft swell, and the period jumps to a proper 10 seconds. That means real groundswell. The energy is a solid 663. The wind is light, only 6-9 mph. This is the best-looking day of the entire forecast. The reef will have some proper shape to it.
After that, it just fades back into mediocrity. So, my advice? Sleep in this weekend. Get your fix on Tuesday the 18th or Wednesday the 19th if you’re keen. But if you can wait, that Monday the 24th is the standout. It’s the one worth planning for.
Rusty out.

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.
