Hey, it’s Rusty checking in. We’ve got a full 16-day picture for Mullaway, and it’s a mixed bag of heavy juice and flat spells. Let’s break it down.

The first real taste of decent surf holds off until Wednesday afternoon (July 8th). Before that, Monday and Tuesday are blowing hard from the south with big, lumpy waves and poor conditions. The water is sitting at a standard 68°F for winter – no surprises there.

Wednesday afternoon is when it gets serious. We’ve got a 8ft groundswell from the SSE rolling in with a 11-second period. The wind is a cross-off SSW breeze at 20 mph, and the wave report says it’s clean. The energy is a massive 3783 – that’s a lot of grunt. This is big, powerful surf for experienced crew only. Over 8ft, it’s expert territory. This is a standout: solid, clean, and pushing hard.

Thursday (July 9th) morning is still clean with the same wind pattern, but the swell has eased to 7ft from the SSE with a 10-second period. Energy is still strong at 1729. Good follow-up session, but the wind gets more cross-shore later.

Friday (July 10th) morning is the pick of the first week for a slightly more manageable wave. Swell is 6ft from the SE with a 10-second period, wind is a gentle SSW at 9 mph blowing cross-off, and conditions are described as “very good.” Energy is a solid 738. Clean and user-friendly.

From Saturday (July 11th), the surf drops off through the weekend and into midweek. There’s a small, clean window on Sunday morning with 4ft from the ESE and a light offshore WNW at 6 mph, but it’s small. From the 13th to the 16th, it’s mostly flat or poor, with swell dropping below 2ft and energy sinking as low as 57. A real lull.

Now, for the second week, keep an eye on Sunday July 19th morning. We’ve got 5ft from the SE with a 12-second period, an offshore WNW wind at 3 mph – nearly glassy – and “very good” expected conditions. Energy is 707. Then Tuesday July 21st morning looks even more promising: 7ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, light NW cross-off at 9 mph, and “very good” again. Energy hits 833. That Tuesday is the one to circle on the calendar – clean, punchy, and long-range promising.

Crowds at Mullaway are often thick, especially on the good days. This point break handles ESE swell perfectly, and the 12-second groundswell from the SE on the 19th and the SSE swell on the 21st will wrap in nicely. When the wind is right, it’s a classic setup.

So, keep your eye on Wednesday 8th afternoon and Friday 10th morning for the first week, and Sunday 19th morning and Tuesday 21st morning for the second week. The 21st has the most potential – just don’t bet the house on it yet.

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.
