Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been digging through the Mullaway charts, and let me tell you, it’s a tale of two forecasts. You gotta gamble and time it right, because this spot can dish out some gold, but it’s buried under a lot of lumpy nonsense.

Right now, we’re in a flat spot. Nothing on offer. The first real window that has me keen is Wednesday morning, August 12th. You’ll see a clean 3ft SSE groundswell, with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate, coming in at 233. But the wind is the hero—a light north-northwest cross-off that’s gonna leave it glassy by the afternoon. If you want silky, groomed faces at 2ft, that’s your shot. The water is a balmy 67°, about normal for the season.

That’s the standout. After that, the wind betrays us. From Thursday the 13th through the middle of the following week, the swell gets bigger but the wind swings onshore or cross-shore. It’s choppy, lumpy, and no fun. There’s a flicker on Friday the 14th morning with a 6ft S swell, the wind is cross-off, so it might be cleanish, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be fat and weak.

Then we hit a stormy run. Saturday the 16th through Tuesday the 19th is all cross-shore junk and onshore slop. Swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft, but with the wind wrong, it’s just a washing machine. A solid four days of waiting.

Your next big bet is Thursday, August 20th. Morning session has a solid 8ft of SE swell, with a 9-second period and a massive 1777 combined energy. That’s a powerful ocean. The wind is a light south cross-off, keeping it clean. That’s big-wave territory—experts only, because the paddle-out will be a battle. The afternoon drops to 8ft, but the wind goes cross-on, so you want the early session.

After that pulse, it drops back through the 21st and 22nd. Swell around 5ft to 7ft, but the wind stays fresh and cross-shore. Lumpy and disappointing.

The final dark horse is Monday morning, August 24th. A clean 5ft of east swell, 10-second period, and a light north-northwest cross-off. That’s going to be lined up and clean. Not the biggest, but the quality will be there.

Then Tuesday the 25th morning gives us another cross-off with 4ft of east swell at 9 seconds. Decent enough to get wet.

So, the pick of the litter is Wednesday the 12th for clean, small waves. The big, powerful day for experts is Thursday the 20th (morning). The rest? You’re gambling on the wind. It’s not a total bust, but you’ll need to be picky.

Rusty.
