Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf ahead.

We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a ripper setup when the conditions line up: Cozies and Geeries. This is a reef and point combo that’s fairly consistent, and it’s wide open to the west-southwest swell. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothin’ to write home about.

The real show kicks off Monday morning, September 7th. We’re looking at solid 8ft swell out of the west-southwest with a groundswell period of 17 seconds – that’s proper, long-period energy. A light offshore from the southeast will have it glassy and clean. The combined energy is pumping at 3123 (strong), so there’s plenty of power. This is for experienced surfers, and with that size and period, it’s gonna be too much for beginners. It’s a standout session. Expect a few others out there though – crowds are possible.

That afternoon the wind picks up a bit but stays offshore, and the swell drops slightly to 7ft. Still excellent for the crew who know what they’re doing.

Tuesday, September 8th keeps the goods coming. Mornin’ sees 8ft from the same sweet west-southwest direction with a 17-second period, and it’s fresh offshore from the east-southeast (18 mph). That’s clean but gusty – still a ripper for the experienced. Combined energy sits at 3584 (very strong). Afternoon is similar, just a touch more wind from the southeast.

Now, Wednesday and Thursday we start to lose the quality a bit. The swell drops, the wind goes cross-off or cross, and the combined energy dips below 1000 at times – still surfable, but nothin’ to get wet over.

Friday, September 11th and Saturday the 12th are a write-off. Onshore winds, rain showers, lumpy mess – just stay on dry land. That poor run stretches through to Sunday the 14th, with strong cross-onshore winds and messy conditions.

We get a little reprieve Monday afternoon, September 14th and Tuesday morning, September 15th – cleaner, 7ft to 7ft west-southwest swells with cross-off winds and combined energy around 1700-1800. It’s good, but not the classic we saw earlier.

Friday, September 18th is the other real standout. Mornin’ shows 10ft out of the west with a 15-second period, combined energy blasting at 4246 (very strong), and glassy conditions with a light southerly – almost no wind. That is bloody solid, expert-only stuff, and it’ll be clean as a whistle. Afternoon stays good with a moderate cross-off.

Saturday, September 19th is still a solid follow-up with 7ft from the west-southwest, clean and lined up.

After that, we trail off into onshore junk again from the 20th through the 22nd, so if you’re in the water, make the most of that first week and especially that 18th – that’s the one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
