The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s a bit of a flat spell for the most part. The first week plus is a struggle, with just tiny, weak, short-period windswell and cross-offshore breezes that keep the surface clean but don’t give you any punch. The swell energy is proper weak, with combined energy values barely hitting triple digits on the best days. You’re looking at a lot of waist-high or smaller stuff that’s just not gonna get you excited.
But hang on, because things start to get interesting around mid-month. The real standout window opens up on Thursday, August 13th. That morning, the swell jumps up to 6 ft from the east, with combined energy hitting 407 – that’s moderate energy finally, and it stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze. The water temperature is a warm 83°, which is totally normal for this time of year. It’s a reef break, Cocoa, and it’s consistent, exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is from the north, but we’re getting east-northeast, so it’s not a perfect match, but there’s still plenty of push.
Friday, August 14th, and Saturday, August 15th, the swell really builds. By Saturday morning, we’re talking 8 ft from the east-northeast, pulse period around 9 seconds, and combined energy over 1000! That’s strong wave energy. This is big, powerful surf. It’s going to be a heavy, powerful lineup, and with that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. The wind is cross-offshore on Saturday morning, keeping it clean, but by the afternoon it turns more cross-shore and gets lumpy. The period is 9 seconds, which is moderate, so it’ll have some shape on offer, but it’s gonna be a handful.
This is the best on offer: the stretch from Thursday, August 13th through Saturday, August 15th. The swell is east-northeast, so it’s a bit angled, but the energy is there. The water stays warm. It’s a consistent reef break, but remember, it can get crowded sometimes. Overall, the first week is a write-off, but the second week, especially that Thursday to Saturday, has some real grunt. Don’t get on it if you’re not ready for it.
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.
