Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is coming in from the west-southwest, which is just what this place likes. The water temperature is sitting at about 64°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.

The first day, Tuesday the 1st, we’re looking at clean waves. The morning has some clouds and a light cross-offshore breeze, with a solid 6ft swell from the west-southwest and a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s got some grunt with combined energy of 1718 (moderate). The afternoon cleans up even more with clear skies, a 6ft swell and 15-second period. This is excellent for experienced surfers – the waves will have shape and power, but with that size, it’s not a beginner’s party. The break is a reef and point setup, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, giving you some proper lines.

Wednesday the 2nd is a write-off. The wind swings to the west-southwest, blowing cross-on at 12 mph in the morning, turning the surf into a choppy mess. The swell is up to 7ft, but the conditions are marginal. The afternoon is a bit better with a light cross breeze, but still not worth paddling out for.

Thursday the 3rd is no good either. The morning has offshore wind, but the wave comment is marginal, and the afternoon gets smashed by a 22 mph cross-on breeze. The swell is 7ft to 8ft, but it’s going to be lumpy and horrible.

Friday the 4th, the swell jumps to 10ft. The morning has a cross breeze and a 14-second period, but it’s messy. The afternoon is a bit cleaner with a light cross-on wind, but it’s still a marginal call. That’s big, powerful swell – only for the experienced crew.

The weekend is a bust. Saturday the 5th has gale-force winds, hitting 40 mph in the afternoon, with a 15ft swell and a short 10-second period. That’s dangerous, not surfable. It’s more of a kite-surfing circus than a paddle session.

Sunday the 6th is a step in the right direction. The wind is cross-offshore from the south at 12 mph, and the swell is 12ft with a 13 to 14-second period. The combined energy is massive at 3997 (strong). The waves will be clean, but that’s a lot of water moving – expert-only territory.

Now, here’s the standout. Monday the 7th. The morning is glassy. Absolutely glassy. An 8ft west-southwest swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is a whisper from the north-northwest at 3 mph. The combined energy is 3598 (strong). The afternoon is cross-offshore and clean. This is the pick of the entire forecast. The reef and point setup will handle that long-period groundswell beautifully, giving you long, walling waves. If you’re experienced, this is the session to aim for.

Tuesday the 8th is another cracker. The morning has offshore wind from the southeast at 6 mph, with a 10ft, 17-second swell. That’s very long period, and the combined energy is 4494 (strong). The afternoon is still clean with a cross-off breeze. This is proper, world-class potential.

After that, the swell drops off. Wednesday the 9th to Thursday the 10th see a decline, with some onshore winds and smaller, less consistent waves. Friday the 11th to Sunday the 13th is a mixed bag of smaller swell (5ft to 7ft) with periods of clean conditions and some cross-off breezes, but nothing that jumps out.

Monday the 14th to Wednesday the 16th is a slow fade. The swell is around 5ft to 6ft, and while there are some clean windows, the energy is low (1029 to 1583). It’s not terrible, but it’s not the main event.

So, to put it plainly: Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are the genuine standouts. Big, clean, powerful groundswell with perfect wind. Get on it if you can handle the size.

Rusty.
