The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the Cocoa forecast.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got easterly wind blowing cross-off, which is the right direction, but the swell is just weak and short-period. Water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for the season.
We start off Monday the 7th with some 4ft east swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 209, but it’s a marginal call. Tuesday the 8th brings a bump to 5ft, with energy hitting 402, but it’s still just windswell. The wave quality is poor. That’s the story for the week: size between 5ft and 6ft, energy in the 400s to 500s, but the conditions are just messy.
The only real standout comes on Tuesday the 22nd. That afternoon, we get 5ft swell from the east, but the period jumps to 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The energy reaches 515, which is moderate to strong. With the cross-off ESE wind, this could be the cleanest and most powerful session of the whole outlook. For a reef break like Cocoa, that long period is a game-changer. It’s a long way off, but that’s the one to watch.
Before that, from the 13th to the 21st, the swell drops below 4ft, and energy is mostly in the low 100s or below. A few afternoons like the 15th and 20th are “surfable but very ordinary,” but honestly, not worth the paddle. It’s a flat spell, and that’s normal for this area.
Bottom line: hold out for Tuesday the 22nd. Everything before that is a waste of time.

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.
