Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

The first few days are a write-off, but we’ve got a solid run of clean swell building from Sunday. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We start off with a dud. Saturday the 5th is a complete no-go: rain, onshore wind, sloppy 8ft swell but with a horrible NNW wind and poor surf conditions. Don’t even bother.

Sunday the 6th, things start to turn. The morning shows an 8ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh SSE offshore at 22 mph, cleaning it up. The combined energy is strong (2099). The afternoon drops a fraction to 7ft, but the wind shifts to ESE and stays offshore. It’s still marginal, but it’s rideable and clean.

Now, keep your eyes on Monday the 7th. That morning is the standout. Clear skies, a gentle offshore wind from the SE at 9 mph, and a 8ft WSW swell with a very long period of 17 seconds. The energy is pumping (3123). This is a long-period groundswell, so at a reef and point setup like Cozies and Geeries, it’s going to link up beautifully. This is for experienced surfers – the size and power will be too much for beginners. The afternoon stays clean but the wind goes cross-off, so it’s a little less perfect.

Tuesday the 8th keeps the run going. Morning brings 8ft, 17-second swell again, with a moderate offshore ESE wind. The energy is massive (3164). The afternoon edges up to 8ft, still clean with a moderate offshore. Both sessions are excellent for experienced crew. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Wednesday the 9th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a cross-off wind and a 7ft swell – still decent but not as clean. The afternoon improves with gentle cross-off wind and a 6ft WSW swell, giving clean conditions.

Thursday the 10th drops off in size. The morning is a scratchy 4ft with a cross-shore wind, but the afternoon goes glassy, with a 4ft, 14-second swell from the WSW. It’s small, but glassy conditions mean it’s a fun little session if you’re on a longboard.

From Friday the 11th through to Saturday the 12th, it turns messy. Onshore and cross-onshore winds, lumpy surf, and poor conditions. Don’t waste your time.

Sunday the 13th is a write-off – onshore and cross-onshore winds with 8ft to 10ft of messy swell. Poor surf.

Monday the 14th brings a pulse of bigger swell. The morning has 10ft, 14-second swell from the WSW with a cross-off SSE wind, so it’s clean but very solid. The afternoon is the same size but with a stronger SSW wind. This is expert territory, and the energy is huge (4078). Again, at a reef/point, it should handle the size well.

Tuesday the 15th is a drop back to 8ft, but the wind is light and cross-shore, so a bit of a bumpy texture. The afternoon is cleaner with a cross-off wind.

Wednesday the 16th is choppy and not worth it.

Thursday the 17th is a return to form. The morning goes glassy, with a 4ft, 16-second W swell. The afternoon picks up to 8ft with a clean cross-off wind. Both sessions are excellent for experienced surfers.

Friday the 18th is a write-off again.

Now, looking ahead to the weekend of the 19th and 20th – and this is a long-range call, so it’s not locked in. Saturday the 19th shows a massive pulse: 10ft to 13ft, 17 to 19-second W swell. The energy is crazy (7347 to 8762). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy beast. Sunday the 20th is even bigger – 13ft, 17-second W swell, with rain and cross-onshore wind. The energy is extreme (9982). This is a serious, dangerous swell. For paddle surfing, it’s a mess. With that kind of wind and swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Best on offer: Monday the 7th morning is the pick of the bunch. That 8ft, 17-second groundswell with gentle offshore wind is going to be magic at the point. Thursday the 17th morning is a very close second for the glassy conditions.

Rusty out.
