Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The ocean’s been busy, and the next couple of weeks have some serious pulse in the water. We’re looking at a solid run of WSW groundswell, and the standout windows are going to be when the wind plays nice. There’s a bit of a wait for the first clean one, but it’s worth it.

The first real chance kicks off on Saturday the 8th. It’s going to be big and raw, but the morning is blown out with a near gale. The afternoon is the one to watch though. The wind swings cross-off, and we’ve got a solid 16ft of WSW swell at 16 seconds. This is a powerful, heavy groundswell, and the energy reading is up at 13389 – that’s strong, very strong. This is expert territory for sure, way over the 8ft mark. It’s going to be a washing machine out there, but for the right crew, it’ll be unforgettable. The water temp is 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a good 4/3 will do.

After that, Sunday morning the 9th shapes up nicely. The swell backs down a touch to 12ft, but the period is pumping at 17 seconds. The wind is light and cross-on, but with that much energy and period, it should still be holding some shape. The energy is still hefty at 7019. It’s another big day, but more manageable than Saturday. Still, this is for experienced surfers only.

Then we get to the real gem. Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. The wind drops to glass. The swell is a solid 12ft from the WSW with a 16-second period, and the energy is 5300. The conditions are listed as exceptional for experts. This is the one. Clean, powerful, lined-up groundswell. Cozies and Geeries (this region’s spot) is a reef and point setup, and this is exactly the kind of long-period swell that loves a point break – it’ll hold its shape and offer some proper waves. The glassy conditions are the key. This is the standout, no question.

Wednesday the 12th is another good one, especially for those who find Tuesday too heavy. Still glassy in the morning with 8ft of WSW swell at 16 seconds. It’s cleaner and more manageable, a step down in size but still quality. The energy is moderate at 2588. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and the morning session will be pure bliss.

Thursday the 13th is also worth a look. The swell holds at 8ft, but the period jumps to a very long 19 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. It’s glassy again in the morning. The energy is up to 4918. This kind of period at a reef/point is going to be fast and hollow. Another excellent day for the experienced crew.

The following week starts to fade a bit. Saturday the 15th turns a little messy with a NW wind and the swell dropping to 6ft. The period is still up there, but the conditions aren’t as clean. There’s a bit of a lull here.

The next big pulse looks like it arrives around Monday the 17th. We see the swell jump back up to 15ft with an 18-second period, and the wind is cross-off in the afternoon. The energy is massive again, at 9937. This is another strong, powerful swell. It’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is there for another big-day session. The forecast confidence is lower that far out, but the signs are good.

After that, the waves start to get a bit more inconsistent and the winds turn a little more onshore. It’s not a total write-off, but the real quality is in that first week to ten days.

So, to wrap it up: The standout is Tuesday the 11th. Get on it. The mornings of the 12th and 13th are also prime. Saturday the 8th is for the brave, and Monday the 17th is one to watch. This Cozies and Geeries spot is a reef and point, so it’s not for beginners anyway, and with this much swell, it’s strictly for the experts. The crowds could be a factor on those good days, as word gets around.
