The Lowdown
Alright my friends, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Cocoloco over the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break, pretty sheltered, and the water temp is normal for this time of year.
For the first week, it’s a real struggle. Most days have tiny, weak swell with poor quality. The wave energy is weak (under 100), and the periods are short. Winds are mostly cross-shore, making it choppy. The only clean day is Friday the 7th morning with a fresh cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2 feet from the south. Not worth the effort.
The real problem starts Saturday the 8th. The swell picks up to 6 feet, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the wind is strong and cross-off. This setup is way more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing – the waves will be messy and blown out.
Then the gold. Monday the 10th morning is the standout. A solid 7-foot south swell rolls in with a long 12-second period, and the energy is strong (1369). On top of that, we have a clean offshore wind from the WNW. This is the best day of the entire forecast. Because it’s over 8 feet, only experts should be out there. The afternoon still has 6 feet, but the wind switches to cross-off, so it’s a little less perfect.
Tuesday the 11th morning is still good, with a 4-foot south swell, 11-second period, and light offshore winds. It’s clean, but the energy drops. Expect some crowds.
After that, the swell drops and the wind turns ugly. From Wednesday the 12th, it’s mostly poor. A few days in the second week, like Saturday the 15th morning, show a 6-foot east swell with an 8-second period and clean cross-off wind, but it’s a short period swell so the shape isn’t great. Crowds will be there.
The last mention is Monday the 17th morning, with a 5-foot south swell, 7-second period, and clean cross-off wind. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
So, the call is clear: Monday the 10th morning is the only real standout. The rest is a mix of small, weak, or windy.
Rusty.

Information about the Cocoloco Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cocoloco provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cocoloco can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cocoloco 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 (Cocoloco) 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 Cocoloco 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.
