Cozies and Geeries

Cozies and Geeries is an exposed reef-and-point surfing area in Mandurah, delivering a long, wrapping left that can link across adjacent sections when the swell and tide timing are right. It’s a big-swell-only wave, typically requiring west to south-west swells around 8ft+ (about 2.4m+) for it to properly wake up. On the best days, the wave is described as powerful and peeling, producing long rides (roughly 150–300m reported) and holding size on larger sets. Performance is closely tied to tide movement: it works best at low tide with rising water, and extra care is needed because low tide can make the reef very shallow. Wind is often a deciding factor. The spot is reported to work best with easterly, southerly, and south-easterly winds, with SW wind noted as optimal for this break (even though SW can be onshore elsewhere in the region). When winds oppose the setup—especially west and south-west onshores—conditions can deteriorate. Safety is a major consideration here: rocks and an uneven reef bottom are present, with rip currents reported near reef edges and sharks listed among key hazards. There are no lifeguards, rescue coverage is described as limited, and the nearest hospital is Peel Health Campus in Mandurah—so plan for quick decision-making and closely follow local shark-warning procedures and posted guidance.
