Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got coming down the line. We’re looking at a single spot that’s going to see some waves, but you’re going to need to be patient and pick your moments.

For the first few days, the surf is just okay. It’s not flat, but nothing to get too excited about. On Monday the 27th, we’ve got a clean 8ft WSW groundswell with a 12-second period, but it’s blowing cross-offshore at 12 mph. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year. The combined energy is strong (1605). Tuesday the 28th looks better – the swell drops a touch to 6ft in the morning, but the period jumps to 14 seconds and the wind is light easterly cross-off. It’s clean, but at that size and with a longer period, it’s going to be a bit more suited to experienced surfers. Tuesday afternoon drops to 5ft, still clean.

Then things get a bit messy. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are small and choppy, not worth paddling out for. Friday the 31st sees a jump in size, up to 8ft in the afternoon with a 17-second period, but the wind swings onshore out of the NW at 19 mph, so it’s blown-out junk. The energy is massive (3116), but the quality is zero. Kite surfers might be interested, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.

The first real standout comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. Sunday morning sees a clean 8ft WSW groundswell with a 14-second period and light easterly cross-off winds. The energy is still strong (2078). But the absolute gem is Sunday afternoon. The swell drops slightly to 7ft, but the wind goes glassy – a rare treat with a southerly breeze at just 3 mph. The break is clean and the water will be like glass. This is your window for the first week.

After that, we get another good spell starting Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s not quite as perfect. Tuesday the 4th of August is a big one. Morning glassy conditions (3 mph from the south) with a 6ft, 19-second groundswell from the WSW. The energy is very strong (2495). That’s a proper long-period groundswell, so the waves will have real push and shape, but it might race through at beach breaks. Tuesday afternoon stays clean at 7ft with an 18-second period.

The middle of August sees the swell pump up big time. By Sunday the 9th of August, we’re looking at a solid 18ft WSW groundswell in the afternoon, with a period of 12 seconds and light cross-off winds. The combined energy is enormous (9555). This is a big, powerful swell, and it’s only for experts. It will be a proper heavy day, and with that short period, it’ll be a bit unruly – better on the reef or point. Monday the 10th of August stays huge at 16ft but the wind goes onshore, so the quality drops. The second week is all about that Sunday the 9th, but remember, long-range forecasts like this are always a bit less certain.

So, if you’re looking for the best of the best, mark your calendar for Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon – that glassy session at Cozies and Geeries is going to be a special one. For a bigger, more powerful swell with good conditions, Tuesday the 4th of August is your other standout, especially the morning glass-off. Just remember, this break is fairly consistent but can get busy sometimes, so get in early. For the really big stuff, the 9th of August is the one for experts only. Over the next 16 days, there are only a few days of total junk, but also a few days of real magic.

Rusty.
