Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the beach. Let's talk about what's coming.

The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary. We’ve got a good run of surf on the way, but it’s a mixed bag. Let's get into it.

The first real swell hits on Wednesday, July 22nd, early. Cozies and Geeries is seeing a 5ft swell from the WSW with a very long 13-second period, packing a massive amount of energy (1120). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the ESE, keeping it clean. This is a wave for the experienced crew only—it’s over 5ft, and with that long period, it’s going to be powerful and well-shaped. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft with the same long period, and the energy jumps to 1706. Still offshore wind from the SE, and it’s clean. This is a big, powerful setup for experts only. The period is over 15 seconds, so it’s a very long period groundswell that will be holding up well on the reef and point.

Thursday, July 23rd, is still a good option. The swell drops to 5ft in the morning with a 14-second period, still a powerful, long-period wave. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean. The energy is down to 943, still moderate. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 4ft, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore, making for a very clean, surfable wave.

Friday, July 24th, the swell drops to 3ft. The morning has a crosswind, making it messy. But the afternoon is the real story: it gets glassy. That’s a huge positive. With a 3ft, 12-second swell and glassy conditions, it’ll be perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The energy is low (307), but the glassy conditions make it a winner. Crowds are possible here, so get out there early.

The weekend is a complete loss. Saturday, July 25th, is all onshore and choppy, absolute junk. Sunday, July 26th, is a mess with strong cross-shore winds and a big, blown-out 8ft to 8ft swell. The energy is massive (1339 and 2834), but the wind is ruining it. This is a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one.

The standout of the entire forecast is Monday, July 27th, in the morning. A clean 7ft swell from the WSW with a 12-second period, and gentle offshore wind from the SE. The energy is strong (1170). This is an excellent, powerful wave for experienced surfers. The wind is perfect, the swell is solid. This is the one to aim for. The afternoon is a step down with cross-offshore wind, but still a solid 6ft.

Tuesday, July 28th, is another good one. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore wind and a 5ft swell. The afternoon is the real gem: glassy conditions with a 5ft, 14-second swell and energy of 1015. That’s a clean, long-period wave that will be running smooth.

After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality vanishes. From Wednesday, July 29th, through the end of the first week, it’s all blown out.

Heading into the second week, it’s mostly a write-off. The wind is a serious problem. There’s a huge, dangerous swell on Friday, August 1st, and Saturday, August 2nd, hitting 18ft with incredible energy, but it’s all cross-onshore and messy. This is a danger zone. The only possible highlight is late on Tuesday, August 4th, when the swell is 8ft, the period is a short 10 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. That could be a decent session for experienced locals, but it’s a long way out.

The best wave of the whole forecast is the Monday morning, July 27th session at Cozies and Geeries. That’s the one. The Wednesday and Thursday of the first week are also solid, but Monday is the standout.

Rusty.
