Cosy Corner North Beach

Moderate risk: Swell and rip currents

East-facing exposure to the Tasman Sea means occasional strong swells and rips, especially during southerly wind events.

Moderate risk: Swell exposure from Tasman Sea

The beach faces east into the Tasman Sea and can experience occasional surf swells that create strong shore dumps and rips.

Moderate risk: Rip currents

When swell is present, rip currents can develop along the beach, particularly near the rocky points at either end.

Moderate risk: No lifeguard patrol

Unguarded beach with no lifesaving services. Snorkelers must exercise personal responsibility.

Low risk: Rocky Reef

Granite boulders and rocky reef formations lie just offshore and at the beach edges; care needed when entering and exiting the water.

Low risk: Swell and Surf Conditions

Cosy Corner can receive ocean swell, particularly in winter months, creating occasional rip currents and dumping waves near the rocky points.

Low risk: Variable Wind Protection

The rocky point provides shelter from some winds, but strong south-westerlies can create choppy conditions reducing visibility.

Low risk: Surf conditions

The beach can have small surf that changes quickly; match swimming ability to conditions as waves can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers.

Low risk: Remote access

Limited mobile reception and no on-site emergency services. Take safety precautions.
