The Lowdown
Right folks, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Cocoa over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you, this is a pretty lean stretch, and it’s a long wait for anything that gets the heart pumping. The opening days are a write-off, but there’s a glimmer of something towards the end of July.
The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Saturday the 18th of July, with a few sessions that are just barely worth a mention. The swell is coming from the east at 7ft, with a period of 8 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (483 and 520). The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year. The wind is a cross-off from the east, which is clean, but the quality is still just marginal. It’s a reef break, and it’s consistent, so there’s always potential, but it’s not firing. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate, with values around 246-520 during this first week.
From there, we hit a bit of a flat spot. The surf dips back down to 4ft to 5ft through the middle of the week, with weak, short-period east swell (7 seconds) and poor surf conditions. The energy readings are low, like 140-263. Not much to get excited about.
We get a bit of a bump heading into the 25th of July. The weekend of the 25th and 26th sees the swell picking up to 6ft to 6ft from the east, period 8 seconds, with moderate energy readings (346-412). The mornings are clean with cross-off winds, but the conditions are still classed as marginal. It’s promising, but not a standout.
The real standout, and the one to keep an eye on if you’re an experienced surfer, is the morning of Friday the 31st of July. That’s the only day where the swell size kicks up significantly. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the east-northeast, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 807. That’s a big step up in power. The wind is a cross-off, so it’ll be clean. However, at 8ft, this is for experts only. It’s going to be a proper challenge. The conditions are still listed as marginal, so tide might be a factor, but if you’re after some size, that’s your window.
Overall, it’s a slow fortnight. The first week is a dud, then we get a few marginal days. That last Friday is the only real highlight, but you’ve got to be ready for a serious session. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, as they can change, but right now, it’s a game of patience.

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.
