The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, look, the next 16 days at Cocoa are a bit of a mixed bag, but honestly, it’s pretty flat and ordinary for the first week. We’re not seeing any real standouts until the very end of the month and into the start of August.
The first real chance to get wet won’t be until the morning of Saturday, July 25th. Before that, we’ve got a solid gap of about four days where the surf is just too weak and the conditions are pretty poor. Even then, the energy is low to moderate on the 25th, with combined swell energy around (231) – it’s marginal at best. The wind is cross-offshore from the ENE all morning, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is tiny at 5ft and from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds. It’s a reef break, so it handles a bit of direction, but 7 seconds is a short-period windswell, meaning it’ll be a bit choppy and lack real punch. It’s really only for the keenest.
The next week, from July 26th through to the 31st, the swell drops to a more consistent 5ft to 5ft, but the energy creeps up. The standout period here is the morning of Thursday, July 30th, and the morning of Friday, July 31st. The swell is 6ft on the 30th and 5ft on the 31st, both from the E, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate to strong (428 and 334), and we’ve got clean, cross-offshore winds from the E and ESE. It’s not huge, but it’s the best quality we’ll see. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
One thing to note: this spot is a reef, so it’s exposed and consistent, but it can get crowded. You’ll be sharing the lineup, especially on the good days. The swell direction is ENE, which is a good match for the optimum N direction.
For the first week of August, the surf starts to fade again. The morning of August 1st has a 4ft swell with 232 energy, but the wind is cross-offshore and the swell is 8 seconds, so it might be a fun little session. After that, it drops off quickly into flat, weak conditions through the 4th and 5th.
If you’re looking for the best of the bunch, I’d point you to the morning of Thursday, July 30th. Clean, cross-offshore wind, 6ft of E swell, and moderate energy (428). It’s not going to be a world-class day, but it’s the closest we get to a proper session in this window. The morning of July 31st is also a solid backup.
Stay safe out there.

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.
