The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Right, I’ve looked at the charts for the coming weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for our region. The swell direction is coming from the East and East-Northeast, which is cross-offshore for Cocoa, but the wind is just too strong and the periods are too short. We’re looking at a whole lot of poor surf conditions, with a few patches of marginal stuff.
The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for comes on Wednesday, the 29th of July. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the East, but with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong (627), and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore. It’s not clean, but it’s big. This is more of a "watch it from the beach" kind of day for most of us, as anything over 8ft is expert-only territory, and this is pushing that limit. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 30th is similar, with 7ft to 7ft East swell, still with that short 8-second period, and 16-19 mph cross-off wind. Still marginal, still a bit of a handful. The energy drops a touch (608 to 562), but it’s still a lot of water moving around.
Into Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August, the swell drops steadily from 6ft down to 5ft, but the wind stays up around 12-16 mph. Poor to marginal. It’s just not cleaning up.
The best of a bad bunch? Honestly, there isn’t a true standout here. The only thing close to a highlight is the period from Wednesday the 29th to Thursday the 30th of July. That’s where the most size is, but it’s rough. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, you might find something at Cocoa (reef) with that big, lumpy East swell. But don’t expect any kind of quality. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off – we’re talking days of tiny, weak swell under 3ft with 6-7 second periods. The combined energy drops to double digits (47 to 91), which is basically flat. There’s a big gap of very poor to flat conditions from the 5th of August all the way through to the 11th.
This is a tough one. It’s a classic case of summer trade winds blowing out what little swell we have. For the average surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about. For the kite surfers, that strong cross-off wind on the 29th and 30th of July might make it a better session than for us paddle guys.

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.
