The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mullaway.
The next few days are a bit of a write-off, if I’m being honest. The swell’s tiny and the conditions are messy. But hold on, because things start to look up from Friday, the 31st of July, and we’ve got a couple of real standouts further down the line.
For Friday morning, the 31st, we’re looking at a 6ft south swell, and the energy is starting to build – moderate wave energy (1470). It’s a cross-shore wind, so not perfect, but it’s a proper groundswell with a 12-second period, which brings some proper shape. This is more for the advanced crew, though, as 6ft starts to push it for beginners.
The real standout window opens up on Friday, the 7th of August. The morning session is a beauty. We’ve got a clean 7ft south swell, with a sweet cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (1513), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a solid, powerful wave only for the lads and lasses who know what they’re doing. The water temp is 67°, which is about a degree cooler than average for this time of year, so a normal spring wetsuit is fine.
Then, hold onto your board for Thursday, the 13th of August. The morning offers a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, with a cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. The energy is very strong (1807), and it’s another one labelled excellent for experienced surfers – definitely don’t paddle out if you’re not confident. The afternoon holds the same size and a lighter offshore breeze, making it another excellent option for the experts. This is a powerful, big ocean day.
For the less experienced, there are a few windows of cleaner, smaller waves. Monday, the 3rd of August, has a clean 4ft morning swell with a cross-offshore breeze, but the period is only 10 seconds, so it’s a bit weaker. Thursday, the 6th, also has a clean 4ft morning. And Sunday, the 9th of August, is glassy in the morning with a 3ft easterly swell, but the crowd can be an issue there.
Overall, the first week is a grind, but the second week, especially the 7th and 13th of August, offers some serious grunt for the experienced surfer. Gotta be patient.
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.
