Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cozies and Geeries.

First up, the water temp is sittin’ around 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. So no wetsuit surprises there.

The next week and a half is a real mixed bag. We’ve got solid swell energy on the way, but the wind is gonna be a battle for the first few days. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are a write-off with that cross-chop and poor conditions. Sunday the 26th is a washout too – strong onshore winds and a weak, short period swell (8 ft at 6 seconds) from the WNW. That's just messy.

Things start to look up from Monday the 27th. The swell drops back a bit, but the wind swings offshore, giving us clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate to strong (2887 Monday morning, 1789 Monday afternoon). That big 10 ft WSW swell on Monday morning is over the 8 ft mark, so that’s one for the experts only. The waves are clean though, with a solid 13-second period offering some real push.

Tuesday the 28th is where it gets interesting. The swell drops to a more manageable 5 ft to 6 ft, but the period is a long 14 seconds. That’s groundswell, and at Cozies and Geeries (a reef and point setup), that’s a beautiful thing. The real standout is Tuesday afternoon: glassy conditions, no wind, and a clean 5 ft swell from the WSW. Energy is strong (1098). This is the pick of the first week – clean, punchy, and not too big for a decent surfer. It’s a "beginner" spot, but with that period and size, it’s a great session for the intermediate crew too. Crowds can be *sometimes* an issue, so get in there.

Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th keep the good vibes going with clean conditions and a long-period swell (17 seconds and 16 seconds). The swell size is a friendly 3 ft to 5 ft, so it’s a little smaller but still offering quality waves. The energy is still moderate (over 1000). Thursday morning is a gem with a slight air and light offshore winds.

Friday the 31st gets a bit bigger again (6 ft to 7 ft) with a very long 17-second period, but the wind turns cross-shore, putting a little chop on the face. Still a good option, but not as clean as the previous days.

Now, looking further out, the first weekend of August is a ripper. Saturday the 1st is glassy in the morning with a 7 ft swell from the WSW at 16 seconds. That’s a solid, powerful groundswell with no wind. Energy is very strong (2070). That’s a standout morning. Sunday the 2nd is also glassy in the afternoon, but the swell swings to the NNW with a short 7-second period. That’s a different beast – more windswell, but still glassy.

Then hold onto your boards. Monday the 3rd of August is the big one. The afternoon is exceptional – 13 ft of pure W swell, a 15-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a massive 7474. That’s a very strong, powerful swell. This is for expert surfers only. It’s a rare and special event, but don’t paddle out if you’re not ready for it.

After that, the wind goes ballistic again from Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the forecast, with strong onshore and cross-shore winds making a mess of things. The swell is still there, but it’s blown out. Kite surfers might be having a field day, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a wait-and-see.

So, the real standouts are: Tuesday afternoon, July 28th – 5 ft, glassy, clean, and a long 14-second period. That’s the hidden gem. And Monday afternoon, August 3rd – 13 ft, glassy, 15-second period, for the big-wave chargers.

Rusty.
