The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks look like.
It’s a bit of a tough start. We’ve got waves on the charts, but the conditions are just plain ugly. For the first week and a half, the wind is a constant problem – a stubborn cross-off breeze from the east that’s killing the quality. The swell is short-period and weak, and the forecast is full of "poor surf conditions" flags. There’s nothing worth paddling out for during this stretch. You’re looking at a solid 12-day gap before we get anything that’s even worth a second look.
The one and only standout here is Cocoa (reef). This is a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north, and it's the only game in town. The best window looks like Saturday, August 15th and Sunday, August 16th. The swell is building to a solid 7.2ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy gets up there around 643 (moderate to strong energy), so there’s some push behind it. The water temperature is a warm 83.1°F, which is about average for the time of year here.
Now, the caveat: that 7.2ft swell is getting into the "experts only" territory. It’s not huge, but it’s more than enough to be a handful. The wind is still a cross-off, which is okay for keeping the surface clean, but it’s not the glassy offshore you dream of. The swell direction is east, and while this break likes a north swell, the east swell will still wrap in. Expect some size, but it might be a bit walled and challenging. Crowds are a possibility here, especially if this is the only real option.
In short, sit tight for the first week and a half. The second weekend, from the 15th into the 16th, is your target. Keep an eye on those long-range forecasts, but for now, that’s our best bet.

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.
