Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s take a look at what Cozies and Geeries is serving up over the next few weeks. This is a reef and point setup, exposed to the WSW swell. It's a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent, and tends to handle a crowd sometimes.

Right out of the gate, we’ve got a bit of a wait for the green light. The first worthwhile session lands on Monday the 27th of July. It’s not perfect, but there’ll be a clean 8ft WSW groundswell rolling in with a 12-second period – that's a lot of water moving, the combined swell energy is a hefty 1605 (moderate to strong energy). The wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean. It’s a bit big for beginners though, over 5ft. This one is for the lads who know their way around.

The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Tuesday the 28th. The morning has a clean 6ft WSW groundswell with a lovely 14-second period, making for some solid lines. Wind is light and cross-off from the east at only 9 mph – getting close to glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds a touch smaller at 5ft but still very clean. This is the best on offer in the first week.

Wednesday the 29th gets a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, and from Thursday the 30th right through to the end of July, it’s a write-off with strong onshore and cross-onshore winds. The beginning of August offers a glimmer: Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd have cleaner, cross-off winds again. But the swell is big – 10ft and 7ft respectively with very strong swell energy (4112 and 1748). That’s expert territory only.

The real sleeper, the long-range promise, is Tuesday the 4th of August. Morning has a clean 6ft swell at 16 seconds, and the afternoon goes offshore – light ESE wind at 6 mph with a 6ft swell and even more energy (1889). That afternoon session looks like pure silk for those who can handle a proper groundswell on a point. It’s a long way out, but it’s the one to dream on.

After that, the wind turns ugly again from the 5th, and by the 8th of August we’re looking at a full-on gale with an 18ft W swell ripping through. That’s not for paddling – that’s for watching from the cliff, or maybe a kite if you’re that way inclined. The 9th and beyond stay blown out or messy.

So, to sum it up: Tuesday the 28th of July is your early winner, and Tuesday the 4th of August is the long-range hope. Water temp is not mentioned as unusual, so it’s average for the time of year. Get on it when it’s clean.
