The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Cocoa.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks look pretty flat and uninspiring. There’s a real dry spell coming. We’ve got scraps on offer this weekend and early next week, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. There’s a long gap of days with “poor surf conditions” stretching from Tuesday the 14th through Monday the 21st, with only a couple of real low-score windows. The only chapter worth talking about is right at the start, and even that is a marginal call.
Saturday September 12th, afternoon: This is the best of the lot, but it’s not saying much. Cocoa is a consistent reef break and it’s pretty exposed, so it’s trying to work with a 5ft east swell, which is a short period of 8 seconds. Modest energy in the water (231). Wind is a cross-off from the east at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. Water temp is 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s a small, short-period affair, and the comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions”. This is the only real window to get a wet suit on.
Sunday September 13th, morning and afternoon: Similar story – 5ft and then 5ft east swell, but the period drops to 7 seconds, so it’s even weaker. Cross-off winds again, but the energy is moderate (244 and 208). Again, it’s a marginal call.
After that, from Monday the 14th right through to Monday the 21st, it’s mostly “poor surf conditions” with swell under 3ft, short periods, and moderate winds. There is one little blip on Thursday the 17th afternoon with 5ft at 8 seconds and energy hitting 300, but the comment still calls it “marginal surf forecast”. The rest of those days are not worth paddling out for.
To sum it up: if you’re desperate, make the call for Saturday afternoon September 12th or Sunday morning September 13th at Cocoa. Small, short period east swell with clean conditions. After that, it’s a long wait. Keep an eye on things – forecasts can change, but right now it looks quiet.
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.
