Cozies and Geeries Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey everyone, it’s Rusty.

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cozies and Geeries. This is a classic reef and point set-up, and it’s exposed to the swell direction that really gets it going. We’ve got a stretch of days ahead, but the first few are a bit of a write-off, so hang tight.

The week starts off pretty flat. The finder is giving us a big zero for Monday and Tuesday, with a messy cross-onshore wind and a weak, choppy vibe. The combined energy is a paltry 669 early on Monday, so it’s not worth paddling out. You’d be fighting the wind for nothing. There’s a bit of a gap here, with no real action until the middle of the week.

Now, Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th start to show some life. The swell is building, around 7ft to 8ft from the WSW, with a period around 16 seconds. That’s a solid, long-period groundswell carrying some real energy – the combined energy is up in the thousands, peaking at 3668 on Wednesday morning. The wind is still cross-on, but it’s light, so the surface will be a bit rippled but not blown out. It’s on the bigger side, so it’s more for the experienced crew. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Saturday the 8th of August. By the morning, we’ve got an 12ft swell from the WSW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 6330. But the best part? The wind is a clean, moderate cross-offshore breeze from the south. That’ll put a smooth face on those waves. The afternoon is even better, with the energy bumping up to 6740. This is a big, powerful swell, well over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experts. The south wind will keep it clean, and crowds are possible at this spot.

Sunday the 9th sees the swell dropping a little, back to 10ft, but the wind swings cross-on again, making it choppier. Not as good as Saturday.

Looking further ahead, Tuesday the 11th of August pops up as a very promising, but less certain, long-range highlight. The morning is a monster: a 16ft WSW swell with an 18-second period, blowing a moderate offshore wind from the southeast. The combined energy is a staggering 15560. That is a huge, powerful groundswell. The comment says it might be too big for this break, so only the most experienced, and perhaps the foolhardy, should even look at it. The afternoon is a bit more manageable, still 16ft, but with a cross-offshore wind and energy of 14105.

After that, Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th settle down a bit. Wednesday morning has an 12ft WSW swell, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a combined energy of 5431. The comment says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers,” which is high praise. Thursday the 13th is a real gem for the slightly less experienced crowd. The swell is 6ft from the WSW, but the wind is glassy in the morning. That’s flat calm, perfect conditions. The afternoon is a clean cross-offshore. This is a much more user-friendly size.

The last few days of the window, from the 14th to the 18th, offer a mix. The 14th has a moderate offshore wind, giving clean waves in the 5ft to 7ft range. The 16th of August has a 10ft groundswell, with a clean cross-offshore wind in the afternoon, making it a good option for the experienced. The water is still around average for the time of year.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is Saturday the 8th for the big, clean, powerful swell for the experts. For a more manageable, glassy session, keep an eye on Thursday the 13th of August. The long-range Tuesday the 11th is a real beast, but it’s a wait-and-see kind of deal.

Rusty.
