Alright, let’s look at this same picture but in feet and miles per hour.
Cocoa is the only break worth talking about. It’s a consistent reef, exposed to the swell. Water temp is 83°F, pretty much normal for the time of year.
Right off the bat, there’s not much to get stoked on. We’ve got an east swell running 6 ft with a real short period of 7 seconds. Wind is blowing east at 18 mph, cross-offshore. That's okay for wind direction, but the short period makes the wave weak and bumpy. The combined energy is only 378 (weak), meaning the waves are small and lack punch. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are rated poor, with 0 scores. Not worth the paddle.
There’s a bit of a lull through the early days. The best you’ll find in the first week are the *marginal* slots, like Saturday morning the 4th: 7 ft of east swell at 8 seconds, energy of 528 (moderate), but still blowing 18 mph cross-off. It won’t be glassy, but it might be rideable.
As we get into the second week, around July 8th-10th, the swell builds to 7-7 ft. The period is still only 8 seconds, though. The wind picks up to 22 mph in the mornings. Energy hits 643 (moderate) on the 10th. Still just marginal. It’s over 6 ft, so it’s a lot of water, but the short period and the wind keep it from being good. Not a spot for beginners.
The best window looks like Wednesday July 15th into Thursday July 16th. The wind drops to 15-18 mph, swell eases to 5-6 ft from the east, still 8 seconds. The energy is between 328-454 (weak to moderate). On Thursday afternoon, with a 5 ft swell and a 15 mph cross-off, it could be the cleanest the forecast gets. But it’s still a marginal call, and the tide will be a factor.
Honestly, there are no true standouts. The swell direction is east, which doesn’t suit Cocoa’s optimum north direction. The short period (always under 10 seconds) means grovelly, weak waves. With the easterly winds blowing hard at times, it’s probably more fun for a kite than a paddle.
Crowds are possible when there’s any wave, so you might see a few.
Keep your expectations in check. It’s a lean run, but forecasts can shift.

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.
