Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, mate. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Cozies and Geeries over the next couple of weeks.

First thing you gotta know – the water temp here is sittin’ at 66°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises when you paddle out.

We’re startin’ slow, real slow. Tuesday the 25th is a write-off. There’s swell, sure – about 4.6ft from the WSW – but that damn NNW wind at 19 mph is blattin’ straight across it, making it lumpy and ugly. Combine that with weak energy (850) and it’s not worth wettin’ a suit. The afternoon gets worse with bigger swell (6.2ft) but even worse onshore wind. Give it a miss.

Wednesday the 26th is where it begins to wake up. The morning’s still messy with mod rain and onshore wind, and the swell jumps to 10ft from the W (19 second period – that’s a proper groundswell, very long). That’s big – only for experts. But the afternoon? Mate, that’s the standout of the whole run. The wind swings around to a gentle cross-offshore from the ENE at only 9 mph, and we’ve got 11.5ft of WSW swell at 18 seconds. The energy is massive (7425). That’s clean, powerful, demanding. This is a reef and point set-up, so those long-period lines will wrap in beautifully. Keep an eye on the tide – but if you’re experienced, this is the session.

Thursday the 27th has size but gets blown out by a strong southerly – 25 mph in the morning, 22 mph in the arvo. The swell’s still big, 8.2ft from the WSW, and the wind is cross-off, but that much wind chops it up. Energy is still strong (3216), but conditions are marginal. Skilled lads might get something, but for me, it’s a pass.

Friday the 28th is flat-tish and windy. Swell drops to 4.9ft, energy’s only 743, and a 22 mph SSE breeze keeps it messy. Nothing doin’.

Now Saturday the 29th – that’s a sneaky good one. Morning has 3ft of WSW groundswell (19 second period) but with a light offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. The energy’s low (803), but that offshore wind will make it glassy and clean for the longboard or a fish. Afternoon picks up to 5.6ft, same 19 second period, and a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 6 mph. Energy jumps to 1927. Clean, fun, and manageable. If you want a cruisy session, this is it.

Sunday the 30th morning is glassy – NNE wind at only 3 mph – but the 6.9ft swell has a cross-shore wind, so a little bumpy. The afternoon cleans up with a nice cross-offshore from the SW at 9 mph and 6.2ft of 16-second groundswell. Energy’s solid (1665). Good for experienced surfers.

Monday the 31st keeps it going. Morning has 5.6ft from the WSW at 17 seconds, with a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 6 mph. Clean and punchy. The arvo’s similar but a bit more wind (12 mph). Energy stays high (1801). Consistent, clean surf.

Tuesday the 1st of September looks marginal again. Swell’s 6.9ft but winds are light and cross-shore, making it a bit lumpy. Wednesday the 2nd sees a drop in size (5.2ft), but morning has a nice offshore from the SSW at 9 mph, making it clean. Energy’s moderate (905).

Then we hit a bit of a dodgy patch. Thursday the 3rd has size (7.2ft to 8.2ft) but cross-onshore wind, and Friday the 4th is blown out by a strong onshore NW wind at 16 mph. Not great.

Saturday the 5th of September could be interesting – morning has 10ft of swell from the WSW (15 seconds) with a light cross-shore breeze. Energy’s high (3970). But the wind is side-shore, so it might be a bit lumpy. Afternoon’s choppy with onshore wind.

Sunday the 6th is a total no-go – near-gale force NW winds at 31-37 mph and big, messy 10ft swell. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle.

Monday the 7th settles down but still windy from the SSW at 25 mph, with 7.2ft swell. A bit cleaner in the arvo but still fresh. Tuesday the 8th looks promising again – morning has 4.9ft with an offshore SE wind at 9 mph. Clean and small, good for a grovel.

Wednesday the 9th finishes the run with 3.9ft in the morning and 5.6ft in the arvo, with the afternoon having a 16-second period and a clean
