The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the ocean’s got planned for us.
It’s a slow start for the next week and a half, but there’s a big pulse on the horizon for the second weekend that has me buzzing. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Monday, August 3rd, and it’s a pretty narrow window.
Monday morning the 3rd is your ticket if you’re keen. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The water temperature is 67°, which is about a degree and a half cooler than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a wetsuit. The combined energy is a solid moderate 397, and Mullaway point should be offering up some nice, workable lines. This is your best bet for the entire first week. The rest of Monday and the days that follow are pretty grim, with tiny, weak swells and onshore winds that’ll chop everything to bits. You’re looking at a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for.
Then we hit Friday the 14th. The swell starts to build, but it’s lumpy and rough, with a 6ft SSE swell and a short period of 8 seconds. The energy jumps to 432, but it’s not clean. Saturday the 15th, though… that’s the one. Saturday morning, the wind goes dead glassy with a light SSW breeze, and the swell is a solid 8ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1216. This is a proper, powerful groundswell, but it’s short-period, so it’s going to be steep and punchy. At 8ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew. The glassy conditions will make it as clean as it gets, but you’ll need a board with some foam and a whole lot of respect for the ocean. That Saturday morning window is the standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed.
Sunday afternoon and Monday see the wind cranking back up, turning it into a messy lump, so don’t miss that Saturday morning slot.

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.
