Ultra Sticky Cool Water Grip
Mrs. Palmers Cool Water Surf Wax is formulated specifically for cool water conditions, rated for water temperatures around 12 to 16 degrees Celsius. Each 70g bar is packed with a traction additive that not only cranks up the stick factor from the first rub but keeps delivering grip session after session without wearing out in the water. The result is a reliably tacky surface that performs from paddle-out to last wave.
The Traction Additive Difference
Most waxes rely purely on the paraffin matrix for grip. Mrs. Palmers goes further by blending in a proprietary traction additive that bonds with the wax structure. The more you rub it, the better it feels. That means the board stays responsive under your feet even in longer sessions where a softer wax would turn slick or melt into the deck.
Temperature Range
The Cool formula is purpose-built for water sitting between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius (roughly 54 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit). Applying a temperature-matched wax prevents the common problems of a wax that is too soft going sticky and gummy or one that is too hard failing to bond to the deck properly. If you surf waters outside this range, Mrs. Palmers offers additional temperature-rated formulas to match.
Application and Care
Start with a clean, dry board. Apply in small circular motions to build up a base coat of bumps across the standing area, then finish with straight cross-hatch strokes to lock in traction. For best results, apply a new layer before each session rather than scraping and rewaxing every time. When the build-up gets heavy and dirty, a wax comb and scraper will clean the deck down to bare glass so you can start fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What water temperature is Mrs. Palmers Cool wax designed for?
- The Cool formula is rated for water temperatures between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius (approximately 54 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit). Using a temperature-matched wax gives you the right hardness for solid adhesion and grip without the wax going gummy or failing to bond.
- What is the traction additive in Mrs. Palmers surf wax?
- Mrs. Palmers blends a proprietary traction additive into the wax formula. It increases the stick factor beyond what standard paraffin delivers and, crucially, it does not break down in the water over a session. The wax keeps getting better the more you rub it rather than fading as the session goes on.
- Does Mrs. Palmers Cool wax need a base coat?
- Yes. For maximum grip, apply a harder base coat wax first to build up a layer of small bumps across your standing area, then apply the Cool formula on top. The base coat gives the temperature wax more surface area to bond to, which translates directly to better traction underfoot.
- How do you apply Mrs. Palmers surf wax?
- Start on a clean, dry board. Use small circular motions across the standing area to build up grip bumps, then finish with cross-hatch straight strokes. Reapply a fresh layer before each session and use a wax comb occasionally to break up the surface and refresh grip without a full scrape.
- Is Mrs. Palmers Cool wax good for cold water surfing?
- The Cool formula covers the 12 to 16 degree Celsius range. For colder water below 12 degrees Celsius, a Cold water formula is the better match. Using the right temperature grade prevents the wax from becoming too hard to bond properly or too soft to hold grip.
- What is the best surf wax for cool water conditions?
- A cool-rated wax formulated for the 12 to 16 degree Celsius range is what you need. Mrs. Palmers Cool is a widely trusted option in that range, with a traction additive that sustains grip through long sessions where softer waxes tend to fail.
