The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a slow couple of weeks on the cards, but there’s a flash of glory waiting at the end if you’re patient. The surf is going to be pretty ordinary for the next week and a half, with a few clean but tiny windows. Then, things are lining up for a proper little pulse of groundswell that should have you smiling.

The first week is all about small, clean conditions rather than any real size. Monday the 3rd kicks off with an easterly groundswell pushing 4ft on the face (397 energy), but the wind is going to switch on you. The morning has a light cross-off breeze and clean conditions – that’s your window. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy, so get it while you can. After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. From Tuesday through to the middle of the month, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel with waves under 3ft. There are a few glassy or light wind mornings where it’ll be clean, but the energy is weak – we’re talking 60 to 160 in the combined energy department, which is pretty pathetic. You’ll be paddling around for not a lot of return. The swell direction is mostly wobbling between E and SSE, and the period is often under 10 seconds, so it’s lumpy and weak.

The only bright spot in that first stretch is a couple of mornings with a clean cross-off breeze and about 3ft – like Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th – but the waves are longer period and the energy is still low. It’s rideable, but you’ll be working hard for everything. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th have a little more push with a 12-second period swell arriving, but the winds are up and it’s all over the place, so it’s not a recommendation. This period of small surf lasts for a good ten days, so if you’re keen, you’ll have to be patient.

Now, the real story is the stretch from Monday the 17th into Tuesday the 18th. This is the standout window of the whole 16-day outlook. Monday morning is looking magic. There’s a solid SSE groundswell with a 12-second period, pushing 6ft faces, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as. The combined energy jumps to a whopping 917, which is a massive injection of power. This is the one to be frothing over. Mullaway is a point break, and this ESE-optimum swell direction from the SSE is close to ideal. The glassy conditions will make it absolutely perfect. This is well overhead and has grunt, so it’s for the experienced crew. Monday afternoon it backs off a touch to 5ft but gets a bit onshore, so it’s still okay, but morning is the call.

Tuesday the 18th keeps the good times rolling with a similar 5ft SSE groundswell and a 13-second period – proper long-period energy. The morning has a light cross-off breeze and clean conditions, and the energy is still very solid at 774. This is another excellent session. So, if you can hold out through the flat spell, the surf gods are going to reward you with a couple of fantastic mornings. The long-period swell is going to be best on this point, so expect nice lines. Just be aware that this is a distant forecast, so it’s promising but not locked in. Mark the 17th and 18th in your calendar.

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.
