The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Mullaway over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the surf is pretty flat out there. We're seeing a long stretch of small, messy waves that just aren't worth paddling out for. The next solid run of surfable conditions doesn't really kick in until Friday, 14 August, so there's a gap of about a week with nothing to get excited about. Don't stress though, it tends not to stay this quiet for long, and forecasts can always change.
The first real standout looks like Friday, 14 August morning at Mullaway. This is a point break that's exposed to the ESE swell. We're looking at a solid 8ft swell coming from the SSE with a very long period of 14 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a massive 2158 (strong to very strong wave energy), and the wind is glassy, with absolutely no breeze. That's about as clean as it gets. This is excellent surf, but with that size, it's strictly for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will have good shape and power, but at a point break like this, it should line up nicely. Crowds are often here, so expect plenty of company. The water temperature is 68°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Saturday, 15 August keeps the size going, with a 8ft SSE swell in the morning, though the period drops to 11 seconds. The wind is a cross-shore breeze, so it's not as clean as Friday. The combined energy is still strong at 1449 (moderate to strong wave energy), but conditions are marginal. This is still only for the experienced crew.
Sunday, 16 August morning sees the swell dropping to 7ft from the SSE, with a fresh cross-offshore wind that keeps things clean. The combined energy is 1743 (strong to very strong wave energy). It's still marginal, but it's a solid option for those who know what they're doing.
Beyond that, the surf drops off quickly. Monday, 17 August through to the end of the outlook is mostly small, choppy, or just poor. There's nothing worth chasing in that second week.
So, the clear winner is Friday, 14 August morning. The glassy conditions, the size, and that long period groundswell are a rare combo. It's a standout, but get in early if you can handle it.
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.
