The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Cocoa has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a wait, but there's something worth paddling out for if you're patient.
Overall, the pattern is pretty quiet for a while. There's a lot of marginal days and poor surf conditions on the menu, with the wind mostly blowing cross-off or cross from the east, so it's not all messy, but the swell just isn't doing much. Expect a long gap of several days with nothing worth recommending. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until the very end of the month.
The standout window is Monday, 31st August. That's the one to circle on your calendar. We've got a solid pulse of ENE groundswell rolling in, 6ft at 12 seconds – nice long period stuff, which usually means proper shape and more power behind each wave. The combined energy is strong at 957, so there'll be plenty of push. Winds are light from the east at 9 mph, keeping it clean. This is a reef break, so that long-period swell should line up nicely. This one's for the experienced crew as the size is getting up there, but it’s the best on offer.
Before that, on Sunday the 30th, the afternoon sees a pulse of long-period swell (14 seconds!) but the size drops to 3ft. The combined energy is still solid at 613, so there’s some grunt, but it’s more of a sneaky session than a proper standout. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After the 31st, it fades back into a stretch of marginal waves and poor surf conditions through the first week of September. The swell sticks around at waist-to-shoulder high for a few days, but the wind stays steady from the east at 12-18 mph, and the period drops back to a short 7 or 8 seconds, meaning weaker, mushier waves. Not much to write home about. There are some longer-range signals for the 9th of September, with combined energy climbing back over 500 and a steady 6ft from the east, but the period is still short (8 seconds) and the wind is strong, so it’s a maybe for the die-hards.
To sum it up: sit tight through the dry spell, and be ready for Monday the 31st of August. That's your best shot for clean, solid waves at Cocoa.
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.
