The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Cocoa region over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a tough start. The first few days are pretty grim for paddle surfing. The wind is pumping from the east, mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell is short-period, messy, and the energy is just not there. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. We’ve got a real lull from Saturday the 8th right through until the end of the following week. There are heaps of days with scores of zero, and a few that are marginal at best. The break here is Cocoa, a reef setup that’s exposed and consistent, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball.
Now, let’s talk about the one true stand-out, and it’s a bit of a wait. On Monday the 17th of August, things finally come together. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell from the east, with a period of 11 seconds, giving it some real push. The wind is light and cross-off, so the face will be clean and glassy. The combined energy is moderate (788), and the direction is right on the money for this spot. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s a reef break, so expect well-shaped waves. The afternoon holds up too, with a 5 ft east swell and clean conditions, but it’s not quite as good.
The week before that, on Thursday the 13th of August, the swell gets big – over 7 ft – but the wind is howling at 19-22 mph, making it lumpy and a real handful. The energy is strong (508-588), but it’s only for the brave. By Friday the 14th, the swell is even bigger, over 13 ft, with a very long period of 11 seconds. The energy is massive (4134), but the wind is still strong. This is big, powerful, and dangerous. If you’re an expert, you might be eyeing it, but the conditions are far from perfect. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup at that size and wind.
The rest of the second week tails off into small, weak, short-period windswell with onshore or cross-off winds. Nothing to get excited about.
So, for the patient surfer, your window is the morning of Monday the 17th of August. That’s the one to pencil in.
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.
