Alright, let’s size up Cocoa for the coming days. It’s a tough one – this reef really wants a northerly swell to show its best, but we’re stuck with a constant east-swell the whole way through. It’s cross-off, which is clean, but the wave quality is just not there. The wave energy is moderate (428–687), so there’s plenty of push, but every day it’s either “poor surf conditions” or “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” Water temp is a warm 28°, which is standard for this time of year.
Starting from Saturday 4th July afternoon, we’ve got east swell at 1.8m, a short 8-second period, and a moderate 25 km/h cross-off wind from the ENE. It’s clean, but poor quality. That same story runs through Sunday 5th and Monday 6th July – same swell, same wind, same poor score. Monday afternoon nudges up to a 2/10 for marginal conditions. From Tuesday 7th through Friday 10th July, the swell ranges from 1.6m to 2.2m, still an 8-second period, with the wind picking up to 30–35 km/h (a fresh breeze) from Wednesday, keeping it marginal at best. The biggest energy hits Thursday 9th June afternoon (687 combined energy), but the quality remains marginal.
The best chance in this whole run is Wednesday 15th July. The swell drops to a clean 1.4m from the east with an 8-second period, and the wind eases to 20 km/h cross-off in the afternoon. It’s the only day that hits a 1/10 score – still low, but it’s the peak. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might get some peace. The swell direction (east) isn’t the optimum (north), so it won’t be at its best, but the cross-off wind will keep the face clean.
After that, Thursday 16th and Friday 17th July go back to poor conditions, with lumpy cross-chop on Friday. Then Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July have a final pulse of 2–1.9m east swell, but again it’s just poor surf, with the wind picking up to 25 km/h cross-off or cross-shore on Sunday.
So, honest truth: there’s no real standout. If you’re keen, aim for Wednesday 15th July afternoon for the cleanest, smallest 1.4m waves. Otherwise, it’s a flat spell of quality for two weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s not looking good.

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.
