Cocoa is a surf spot located on the Caravelle peninsula, which is a 10 km (6 mi) stretch of land that juts into the Atlantic Ocean near Trinité. It’s known for its technically challenging waves that can pack a punch, appealing mostly to more experienced surfers. While it might not be the top choice for everyone, it offers its own unique challenges and conditions that can make for an interesting session.

The wave at Cocoa breaks left over an uneven reef, handling swell sizes around 3 ft (0.9 m) and up. The optimal swell direction is from the north, but it can also work well with swells coming from the east. The best winds come from the south, making for cleaner conditions. Surfers typically find good waves when the tide is at low, mid, or high levels, but this spot is really suited for expert surfers due to the fast and powerful nature of the waves.

It’s a popular spot, so expect to see a few locals in the water. Make sure to be mindful of them and catch some of the action if you can. Cocoa can offer a rewarding experience for those ready to tackle its challenges.
