The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Cocoa, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. We’ve got a solid, consistent reef break that loves a northerly swell, but the wind and swell directions are just fighting us the whole way. The water’s sitting at a pretty normal 84°F for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re staring at it.
The first real chance to even get wet doesn’t show up until Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August. We’ll have a clean 4ft ENE swell pumping in with a short 8-second period, and a gentle cross-off breeze from the ESE. The combined energy will be moderate (235). It’s not a standout by any means – the swell direction is completely wrong for the optimum northerly, and the period is short, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and weak. It’s a look, not a lock.
Honestly, the rest of the outlook is a bit of a write-off. From Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Tuesday the 11th of August, it’s a long, grim stretch of poor surf conditions. The wind is a persistent cross-off or cross-shore from the east, the swell is constantly coming from the wrong direction (E/ENE), and the period stays short, between 6 and 8 seconds. The energy flickers between weak (88) and moderate (355), but the quality is just never there. There are a few marginal calls on Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th with 5ft and 4ft swells, but the wind and direction are still off, and the wave comment says it all – poor or marginal at best.
We get a tiny tease on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August. The swell picks up to 6ft and 6ft from the east, with a consistent 8-second period and moderate energy (457 and 445). The wind is still cross-off, but the forecast only calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” For a reef that needs northerly swell, that east swell is going to be a close-out mess unless the tide is perfect. The 19 mph winds on Thursday morning will chop it up too.
The one true standout in this whole 16-day window? I honestly can’t call one. The strongest swell of the run is that 6ft east swell on the 12th, but the wind, direction, and the short period kill it for a reef break. If you’re desperate, Saturday afternoon the 1st with the 4ft and light wind is your best bet, but don’t expect much.
For a break that’s consistent, this is a rough run. The forecast can always change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
