The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Mullaway over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and messy run for the next few days. We’re looking at a long dry spell with not much to get excited about. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until the tail end of August, and even then, it’s a waiting game.
The earliest glimmer is on Wednesday morning the 26th. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, but the real kicker is the light offshore wind from the West. That’ll make things glassy and clean, but the wave energy is weak (109). It’s surfable, but you won’t be pulling into anything heavy. It’s more of a longboard cruise.
Things start to get a bit more interesting towards the end of the month. Friday morning the 28th has light wind and a 3ft SSE swell with moderate energy (222). Still not big, but the swell period is 9 seconds, so there’s a little more shape. It’s marginal, but if you’re keen, it’s the pick of a poor bunch.
Now, the standout for the whole outlook – and I mean the only real standout – is Monday morning the 31st of August. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong (1111), and with a cross-off wind from the SSW, conditions will be clean. This is a long period swell, so it’ll wrap around nicely at a point break like Mullaway. It won’t be huge, but the quality and shape will be miles better than anything else in the window. This is your session.
The week after that drops off again. Tuesday the 1st of September has a clean morning with a 3ft SSE swell and 11-second period, but the energy is moderate (261). Nothing to write home about. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy with onshore winds through the rest of the first week of September.
By the 7th and 8th of September, we get pulses of bigger swell – up to 4ft – but the wind is howling onshore from the SE and ESE, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. Not surfable for paddle. Kite surfers might have a look, but for us, it’s a hard pass.
Overall, hang tight for that Monday the 31st. That’s your best bet. Everything else is either flat, blown out, or too small to bother with.
Rusty.

Information about the Mullaway Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mullaway provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mullaway can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mullaway surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Mullaway) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Mullaway may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
