Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cocoa over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead for Cocoa. The next 16 days are looking like a real struggle for any decent surf. The whole run is plagued by short-period, weak east swell and wind that’s almost always cross-off or cross, which just isn’t doing the reef any favours. There’s no standout quality in the water until the very end of the run, and even then, it’s marginal at best.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out is on Sunday the 12th of July. The swell is 5 ft east, but it’s a short 8 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate (312). Wind is a cross-off from the east at 12 mph, which will keep the surface reasonably clean. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best you’ll see for a while.
From there, it’s just a long, dry spell. Monday the 13th through to Saturday the 19th is a total write-off. The swell stays between 5 ft and 7 ft, but the wind picks up, turning cross or cross-off, and the conditions are consistently described as poor. The energy jumps up to 619 on the 19th, but it’s all cross-shore wind and lumpy chop – not for paddle surfing, that’s kite territory.
Things get a little less hopeless from Sunday the 20th of July, but it’s still nothing to get excited about. The swell drops back to 5 ft, still short period, and the wind is cross-off again. The combined energy is moderate (321). It’s marginal, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The last couple of days ease off. Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop to 3 ft, and the energy is weak (117). Thursday the 23rd is similar, with a risk of thunderstorms and strong east wind. The best chance of a surfable, clean wave comes right at the end of the window, on Monday the 27th of July. The swell is 5 ft east, 8 seconds, with a cross-off breeze and moderate energy (287). It’s still marginal, but it’s the one to look at if you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: this is a long, flat, and windy period. The only time that might be worth a paddle is the very first morning on the 12th, or the final morning on the 27th. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.
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.
