Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at the Cozies and Geeries stretch for the coming days. This is a reef and point set-up, so it's got some character. The water temp is 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The outlook starts off with a bit of a mixed bag, but we've got a standout session on the way. For Sunday the 23rd, the morning's looking alright with a clean 5ft WSW swell at 14 seconds and light cross-off winds. It's not huge, but it's surfable for the experienced crew. The combined energy is sitting at 1031, which is moderate. The afternoon sees the wind pick up to 16 mph, so it gets a bit messy. Monday the 24th morning is clean again, with a 7ft WSW swell and a light easterly breeze – that's a nice little window for a paddle. From Tuesday the 25th, it goes pretty ordinary with onshore winds and poor conditions, so you might as well leave the boards in the car for a few days.

Now, the real highlight is Wednesday the 26th. This is a proper standout. We're looking at a solid 12ft WSW swell with a very long 19-second period in the morning, and 18 seconds in the arvo. That's groundswell energy, and with light SSE cross-off winds, it's going to be clean and powerful. The combined energy is a massive 9621 in the morning and 8479 in the afternoon – that's strong to very strong energy. This is expert territory only, way too big for beginners. The point break nature of this spot will handle that long-period swell well. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Thursday the 27th is still solid with 8ft to 8ft WSW swell and offshore winds, but it gets a bit windier through the day, so it's good but not as perfect as Wednesday. Friday the 28th drops right off with smaller, wind-affected surf. The weekend of the 29th and 30th is marginal with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, nothing special.

Monday the 31st brings a return to cleaner conditions with a 6ft to 6ft WSW swell and light cross-off winds. It's a decent option for a Monday session. After that, it goes a bit average again with onshore and cross-onshore winds from the 1st of September through to the 3rd, and the swell hangs around 6ft to 8ft but it's chopped out.

We get a little spike in size on the 5th of September with a 12ft WSW swell, but it's cross-on and choppy, so not the best. The 6th of September is a big, windy mess with a 15ft swell but strong winds making it poor. The 7th of September is another huge swell event – 15ft from the west with a very long 17-second period and combined energy over 12000 – but it's cross-on and light winds, which means it'll be lumpy and tricky. That's one for the experts only, and even then, the conditions are marginal. For the rest of us, Wednesday the 26th is the clear winner.
