The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Cocoa has lined up for us over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting right around 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.
Right now, it’s a bit of a slow start. There’s surf showing, but it’s messy. Sunday and Monday are pretty ordinary with easterly cross-off winds and weak, short-period swell. The energy is low, the waves are small, and it’s just not doing anything exciting. Tuesday morning drops right off.
We’ve then got a real blank run from Tuesday August 11 through to Saturday August 15. During that stretch, the swell is either too weak, the wind is howling, or the waves are just a crumbly mess. Thursday the 13th sees a big spike in size (7ft to 8ft) and energy, but it’s accompanied by fresh cross-shore breeze or cross-chop, so it’s not clean surf. Friday the 14th actually gets up to 10-12ft with massive energy, but the wind swings cross and strong, making it a lumpy, messy beast. That setup is more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing.
The one standout in this whole outlook is Monday afternoon, August 17. Around midday, the wind drops to glassy with a light ESE breeze, and we’ve got a 6ft groundswell from the ENE with a long 11-second period. That combination is going to produce clean, lined-up waves. The energy is solid, and for a reef break like Cocoa that likes swell from the north, this is a real window of quality. Just remember that long period at a beach setup can make for a faster, straighter wave, but on the reef it should hold shape nicely. Crowds are possible here, but if you’re in the water that afternoon, you’re in for the best session of the fortnight.
After that little peak, the surf fades again. Monday the 18th through to the end of the outlook sees mostly small, weak, and underwhelming conditions. Winds stay cross-off, but the swell drops to under 3ft with very low energy, barely worth the paddle.
So bottom line: the next week and a half is mostly a wait-and-hope game. But that Monday August 17 afternoon window has proper glassy, chest-to-head-high surf with real push. Circle it on your calendar.

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.
