The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' at the same stretch of coast. Let's be real, the first week's a bit of a slow burner, but there's a beauty of a swell hiding in the second week that's got my heart pumping.
We're talkin' about Mullaway, a classic point break. It's an advanced wave, fairly consistent, and it loves an ESE swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing too crazy.
The forecast kicks off on Monday, 20th July, but don't rush out. We've got a solid 8ft swell from the ESE, with a ton of energy, but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the SSE at 12 mph. That combo's gonna make it choppy and tough. It's a write-off. Tuesday morning, the 21st, is a bit cleaner with a 5ft from the E, but it's still not the pick. Wednesday and Thursday the swell drops right off, falling under 3ft, and while Thursday morning is glassy, it's just too small.
We get a little spike on Saturday, 25th July. The swell is only 3ft, but it's a clean 11-second groundswell from the SSE, and the wind is glassy in the morning. It'll be small and clean, perfect for a longboard, but it's not the standout.
Now, hold on, because the real action kicks off Thursday, 30th July. The morning brings a clean 5ft from the SSE under glassy conditions. But the big one is Friday, 31st July. We're lookin' at a 8ft swell from the SSE with a very long 14-second period. The energy is massive, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSW at 9 mph. This is proper groundswell, and at a point break, those long lines are gonna wrap in beautifully. The sets will be solid, with plenty of time between them to paddle out. This is a session for experienced surfers only, as that 8ft is pushing the limits for most. Saturday, 1st August, keeps the size going with a 7ft morning, but the wind gets a bit stronger, so the Friday morning is the absolute stand-out.
So, the overall call: You've got a slow start, but the best on offer is clearly the morning of Friday, 31st July at Mullaway. It's a long-range call, so it's not locked in, but the signs are all there for a cracker. Get it while it's hot.
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.
