The Lowdown
Alright partner, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Cocoa. It’s a consistent reef break, wide open to the swell, and that’s all we get to work with here. Water temp’s sitting around 84°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
For the first stretch, it’s a bit of a slow burn. Starting from the 24th of August, the surf is just not worth the paddle. Winds are off-shore or cross, but the swell is all short-period stuff – around 7 to 8 seconds – and the reports are calling it “poor” or “marginal.” The wave energy is moderate in the hundreds, but it’s not combin’ into anything decent. Nothin’ to get the heart rate up.
The whole game changes on the 30th of August. Sunday morning we get a serious pulse: a 6ft swell from the ESE, but the kicker is that 15-second period. That’s a big, rolling groundswell. The combined energy is a solid 1466. The wind is light and off-shore, so it’ll be clean. This is for experienced riders only, as it’s got some punch. Sunday afternoon is even better: 6ft from the ENE, 14-second period, and energy at 1616. That’s the real highlight of the whole 16-day window.
The 31st of August keeps the quality up. Monday morning has a solid 7ft from the ENE with a 12-second period. Energy is still very strong at 1187. Again, that’s expert territory because of the size. The wind stays light and off-shore, making for clean, glassy conditions. The afternoon eases back to a nice 4ft from the NE.
After that, into the first week of September, it drops back into smaller, more frustrating conditions. The swell shifts to the north and the energy fades. There’s a little bump on the 6th and 7th of September with some 6ft to 7ft easterly swell at 8 seconds, but it doesn’t have the same power or the long, luscious lines of that late August window.
So, the only spot worth talkin’ about is Cocoa. The absolute standout is the afternoon of Sunday, the 30th of August, and the morning of Monday, the 31st of August. That’s where you get the biggest waves, the longest period, and clean conditions. It’s gonna be a ripper for anyone with the skills. Remember, it’s a reef, and because it’s consistent, it can get a bit of a crowd, so be on it early.

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.
