Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cocoa over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m scratching my head a bit with this one. We’ve got a solid run of swell in the 5 ft to 8 ft range for the next few days, but the wind is a real buzzkill. The trade winds are howling out of the E at 19 mph, making it a cross-off wind that’s keeping the surface from being clean. The water is a warm 83°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no complaints there.
The best bet is looking at Cocoa right now. On Wednesday the 8th, we see a 7 ft east swell with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 610. The wind is a fresh cross-off, which is keeping it clean, but it’s not going to be the glassy perfection we all dream of. The wave state is clean, but the score is low. It’s a consistent reef break that can handle an east swell, and it’s exposed, so it’s catching all this energy. Friday the 10th is a bit better with a touch more size and a little less wind, but still that cross-off breeze.
The problem is, from Saturday the 11th onwards, the conditions just get uglier. The wind stays strong, the swell starts to drop, and the wave state gets labeled as "poor" or "marginal" for most of the next week. We do see a bounce back around the 18th of July with a 6 ft to 6 ft swell, but the wind is still a cross-off at 16 to 19 mph. The period stays short, so the waves will be a bit fat and lack that punch.
For a bit of perspective, the second week looks like a rinse and repeat of the same story: a bit of east swell, a lot of wind. Nothing to get excited about. The truth is, for a spot like Cocoa, which is usually consistent, this is a dry spell. The crowd factor is "sometimes" there, so on a poor day, you might have it to yourself, but the conditions won't be worth the paddle.

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.
