Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in with a look at the next couple of weeks for Mullaway. This is a classic point break that’s exposed to the east, so it needs a good angle to really fire. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real gems comin’ through if you’re patient.

The first few days are pretty ordinary. Wednesday afternoon (22nd July) is a write-off with cross-on NE wind around 9 mph and a weak 4ft E swell, just a messy (219) energy reading. Thursday morning (23rd July) looks a bit better – S wind drops to a glassy 3 mph, with a small 3ft E swell (136) – but it’s only surfable, nothin’ to get excited about. Thursday arvo and all of Friday (24th July) are blown out by strong cross-off and cross-shore winds, so that’s a no-go.

Then we get our first real standout. Saturday morning, July 25th – this is the one. Clean NW wind at 6 mph, cross-off, and a proper SSE groundswell runnin’ at 5ft with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is a solid (898) – moderate but punchy. This is a long-period groundswell, which is perfect for a point break like Mullaway – it’ll wrap in nicely and hold shape. The water’s sitin’ at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is excellent surf, clean, and the kind of morning that makes you forget the flat spells.

Sunday morning (26th July) is also worth a mention – glassy SSW wind, 3 mph, with a 3ft SSE swell at 13 seconds (313). It’s smaller but still clean and fun. The rest of that week trails off into smaller, weaker swells through Tuesday and Wednesday, with a few glassy mornings but not much push.

The next big standout arrives on Saturday, August 1st. Morning brings a clean NW cross-off breeze at 6 mph and a 4ft S swell (588) – that’s a nice uptick in energy. Then Sunday, August 2nd is the big one for the crew who’ve got the skills. Morning is glassy with N wind at 3 mph, and a solid 8ft SSE swell (1058) – that’s strong energy, and the water’s gonna be pumpin’. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over the 8ft mark. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not super clean groundswell, but the sets will be thick and powerful. Afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-on breeze, but the morning is a goldmine.

Monday, August 3rd, also looks good – glassy calm, 7ft ESE swell (672) with a 9-second period – another great morning for the experienced crew. And Tuesday, August 4th, has a clean offshore WSW wind at 3 mph with a 5ft E swell (345) – that’s a solid, clean option for a Tuesday sesh.

So, the best on offer is Saturday morning July 25th for the clean, long-period groundswell, and Sunday morning August 2nd for the big, powerful swell for experts. There’s a patch of small, weak surf from late July 28th through to July 31st, but it picks right back up in August. Stay keen, Rusty.
