The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at Cocoa for the next couple of weeks. To be honest with ya, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the most part. We’re starting with a gap because there’s just nothing worth paddling out for straight away. The first real sniff of anything remotely rideable comes around Saturday the 18th, and even then, it’s marginal.
The water is sitting right around 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
That first little window is Saturday morning, July 18th. We’ve got a 7ft east swell, rolling in at 8 seconds. The energy is actually solid here, hitting 532 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is cross-offshore from the east at 19 mph, keeping it clean. It’s a bit of a handful for a beginner at that size, but for an intermediate, it’s worth a look. The afternoon holds similar at 7ft, still cross-off and clean. The optimum swell direction here is north, and this is straight east, so it’s not hitting the reef perfectly, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Sunday the 19th drops a touch to 6ft, same east swell, still cross-off wind, but the energy is backing off to 455. The wave comment calls it “poor surf conditions,” so it’s a step down from Saturday.
The following week is a wasteland. From Monday the 20th through to the end of the month, the swell sits between 3ft and 5ft, mostly with a short 7-second period, and the energy is weak (126 to 270). The wind stays cross-off, but there’s just no power or shape. It’s a long gap of nothing special.
The only other flicker of life is right at the end—Friday, July 31st. We get a 6ft east swell at 8 seconds, with energy back up to 419. The wind is cross-off at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean again. It’s still a long way out, so don’t bet the farm on it, but it’s the only other day that might be worth a session.
So, the standout here is Saturday, July 18th. Get on it if you can, because the rest is a long, flat, and frustrating wait. Keep your eye on the 31st, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
