Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The surf is up at Cozies and Geeries, and it’s a good one to have on the radar if you’re comfortable with a bit of size. We’ve got a solid run of WSW groundswell pushing in, and the water’s sitting right around 64°F, which is about average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just your typical early autumn warmth.

The opening call, Monday afternoon, is where you want to be. We’re looking at 8ft of clean WSW swell with a 14-second period, and that’s a powerful, organised groundswell. The wind is light offshore from the SSE, and it’s dead clean out there. The energy is strong too – 2107 on the dial – so there’s plenty of push. This is a standout session for experienced surfers; the reef and point will be handling it well.

Tuesday keeps the good times rolling. Morning has 7ft at 14 seconds with a light cross-offshore E wind, making it clean. The afternoon bumps the wind to a moderate offshore from the SE at 15 mph, holding the 7ft swell in shape. Energy drops a touch, but it’s still solid at 1614. Another great day on the water.

Wednesday is a mixed bag. The morning drops to 4ft and goes cross-shore with a NE breeze, and it’s looking a bit average – you’ll be fighting some chop. But the afternoon is a real redemption story. The wind goes glassy, light ENE at 3 mph, and the swell sits at 4ft with a 13-second period. It’s small, but glassy and clean – perfect for a longboard or a funboard if you’re after a cruisy session.

Now, Thursday and Friday are a write-off. The wind swings onshore and howls – we’re talking 15 to 25 mph gusts, with Friday afternoon hitting a near gale. The swell is all over the place, and it’s blown out. Don’t bother.

Saturday the 19th isn’t any better. There’s plenty of size, 10ft in the morning, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not a pretty sight. Sunday the 20th, the wind is onshore again, and it’s messy, even though the swell hangs around 6ft to 5ft. Still poor.

Monday the 21st looks marginal at best. The swell is there, 6ft to 6ft, but the WNW wind is on and cross-onshore, and you’ll be dealing with lumpy conditions. Tuesday the 22nd is a mixed bag – morning is poor, and the afternoon goes cross-shore with a shorter 9-second period, which just makes things lumpy and less appealing.

We get a big pulse on Wednesday the 23rd – 12ft of WSW swell – but it’s onshore and messy. No good. Thursday the 24th is more of the same, with 10ft and cross-onshore winds. It’s big, but it’s not clean.

Here’s where things start to turn around. Friday the 25th, we’ve got a fresh cross-offshore breeze from the south, and the swell is still a solid 7ft to 7ft at 14 seconds. It’s clean, and the energy is building back up – 1826 to 1887. It’s a bit on the edge, but there will be some fun ones if you pick your banks.

Saturday the 26th is the other standout of this run. The morning is absolute gold – 7ft of WSW swell at a very long 16-second period, with a light E cross-offshore wind. This is clean, powerful, and the kind of swell that makes the point sing. The afternoon is still clean, but the rating drops a touch – still, 7ft at 16 seconds is nothing to sneeze at.

Sunday the 27th brings in glassy conditions in the morning with 5ft at 14 seconds – perfect for a relaxed session. The afternoon is a bit more marginal with a cross-offshore breeze from the south.

Monday the 28th, the morning is a bit cross-onshore and lumpy, but the afternoon is back to clean with a light SSW cross-offshore and 5ft at 16 seconds. Excellent, clean waves for those who want to get out after work.

Tuesday the 29th is not great – cross-onshore winds in the morning and a light cross-shore breeze in the afternoon, with surf in the 6ft to 5ft range. It’s a bit messy.

So, to cut through it all: the two real standouts are Monday the 14th and Saturday the 26th. Monday has the size, the energy, and the offshore wind – it’s the full package. Saturday has that long-period groundswell and clean conditions, which is a very close second. If you’re only picking one, Monday the 14th is your best bet.

This is Rusty, signing off. Get out there if you can, and be smart about the big days.
