Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Righto, let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Cozies and Geeries over the next couple of weeks. First things first, the water temp is sittin' around 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We’ve got a big pulse of groundswell rolling in right at the start. Tuesday morning the 7th is looking like a real standout. Cozies and Geeries is a reef and point setup that loves a good WSW swell, and we’ve got a solid 8ft swell from that exact direction, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s bringing a heap of energy – 2731 (moderate to strong) – and the wind is a light cross-offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is expert territory though, 8ft is too big for beginners. The long period will mean long lulls between sets, but the shape should be excellent. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early. That’s easily the best on offer for the whole outlook.

Tuesday afternoon stays solid with 7ft from the same direction, period still 16 seconds, and clean cross-off wind. Still a cracker.

Wednesday morning the 8th is a bit of a mix – 7ft WSW swell, 18 second period, but a light cross-on N wind at 6 mph. It’s not horrible, but not glassy. Wednesday afternoon though, the wind goes glassy, calm as a lake, with a 8ft W swell and 16 second period. That’s a gem of a session for the experienced crew, with energy at 2668. Look for cleaner faces on the point.

Thursday the 9th is a write-off thanks to a moderate cross-onshore W wind at 12 mph, making it choppy. The swell drops to 7ft, period 15 seconds, but the quality is gone. Friday the 10th morning is a beauty – glassy conditions, ENE wind at 3 mph, and a 5ft WSW swell with 13 second period. That’s a much friendlier size, very good surf, and energy at 707 (weak). Great for a wide range of abilities.

Saturday the 11th is clean in the morning with a 4ft WSW swell, but by afternoon the wind picks up to 12 mph from the SSW, making it a bit lumpy. Sunday the 12th morning is clean again with a 4ft swell, but get this – the energy spikes to 1318 (moderate) because the period jumps to 19 seconds on Sunday afternoon, even though the swell height is only 4ft. That afternoon wind will be cross-off but gusty at 12 mph, so it might be a bit messy, but the power will be there.

Monday the 13th is another cracker morning – 7ft WSW, 16 second period, clean cross-off ESE wind at 6 mph, energy at 2289. Solid, powerful, expert-level waves. Tuesday the 14th afternoon is also worth a mention: clean cross-off S wind, 6ft WSW swell, 15 seconds, energy at 1479.

Now, from Wednesday the 15th right through to Sunday the 20th, things turn ugly. Onshore winds, rain, and a big jump in size on Friday the 17th with 12ft WSW swell (energy 6085 – very strong). That’s huge, but the wind is cross-onshore and strong, so it’ll be a total mess. Not for paddling – that kind of setup with that wind and power is more of a kite surfer’s playground. This run of poor conditions lasts about a week.

Finally, we get a decent return on Monday the 20th afternoon: 5ft WSW swell, 15 seconds, moderate offshore SE wind at 12 mph, clean, energy at 833. That’s a very good session to cap things off, and Tuesday the 21st morning follows with a light cross-off breeze and 5ft swell. Both of those are solid, ridable options for the second week.

So, in a nutshell: the real standout is Tuesday morning the 7th and Wednesday afternoon the 8th. The second week has some promise late on, but it’s less certain this far out.

Rusty.
