The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a close look at what’s on the table for the next 16 days.
Overall, this is a pretty bleak stretch for Cocoa. The forecast is packed with “poor surf conditions” calls, and the few marginal moments don't look worth chasing. You’ll see a lot of moderate east-northeast winds that keep the surface from ever getting truly glassy. The water temperature is a typical 83°F for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to paddle out is a weak one. On Wednesday morning, the 15th of July, we’ve got a 5ft east swell at a short 7 seconds, which is just windswell. The energy is moderate (211), and the wind is cross-offshore, which is the only positive. The call is "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so don't expect much.
The next sniff of a wave comes on Saturday, the 18th of July. The swell picks up to 7ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (471). But the wind is a cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph, and the forecast still says "poor surf conditions." Sunday the 19th holds a similar 6ft east swell (432 energy), but with a risk of thunderstorms and that same cross-offshore wind. Again, "marginal" at best, so it’s a gamble.
The week following is more of the same. There’s a slow decline in swell height, with a lot of 5ft to 6ft east swells, but the wind stays onshore or cross-offshore, and the ratings remain poor. The only faint glimmer is on the morning of Sunday, July 26th, with a 5ft east swell (221 energy) and a "marginal" call, but the wind is still cross-offshore.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The best you could hope for is a super early session on one of those marginal mornings, maybe Wednesday the 15th or Saturday the 18th, but with the short period and persistent wind, it’s going to be a chop-fest. If you’re a kite surfer, this setup with the consistent east wind and 5ft to 7ft chop might be more interesting than paddling a surfboard.
Stay hopeful, but don’t be surprised if this 16-day window is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a tough run.
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.
