The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Cocoa.
Honestly, it's a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. We've got a solid patch of swell coming through, but the wind is gonna be a real pain for a lot of it. The water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no wetsuit worries there.
We kick off on Saturday the 22nd with some 4ft swell out of the east, but it's short-period stuff at 7 seconds and cross-off winds from the east at 12 mph. The energy is weak (192), and the call is poor surf conditions. That sums up the whole weekend and into Monday the 24th – we're looking at weak, wind-affected waves that just aren't worth the paddle out.
Tuesday the 25th sees a bump in size to 5ft-6ft, and the energy starts to climb (249 to 407). Still east swell and cross-off winds. Tuesday afternoon gets a score that says 'marginal.' That's the best we've seen so far, but it's nothing to get excited about.
The wind stays messy all through Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th. By Friday the 28th, the swell pushes up to 7ft (energy hitting 628), but it's still plagued by those cross-off winds. It's frustrating to watch.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Over the weekend of the 30th and 31st, things change. Sunday the 30th morning has a big 13ft east swell rolling in with an 11-second period – that's some serious groundswell energy (3476). The wind is a cross-shore from the NE at 12 mph. This is huge surf, well over 8ft, so this is expert territory only. It's going to be powerful, and with that longer period, it might break a bit straight at the beach, but there will be some proper sets.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 31st. The swell drops to a more manageable 7ft, but the wind swings around to a light ESE breeze at just 6 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off glass-off. The energy is still solid (562), and the report says 'expect very good surf conditions.' This is the pick of the forecast. Get out there early.
After that, it fades. A few clean but smaller waves on the 5th and 6th of September in the 6ft to 7ft range with decent winds, but the real magic is that Monday the 31st.
Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath for the first week. The second half has the goods.
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.
