Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for our local zone.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The immediate forecast is a dud with nothing rideable, so sit tight. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Saturday morning, the 25th of July. That’s the standout window for the whole run, and it’s a ripper. We’re looking at Mullaway, a classic point break that’s built for this kind of pulse. The swell is going to be a solid 5ft out of the SSE, and the period is a long 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, with real punch and shape. The combined energy is a massive 1106, which is strong. Now, the wind is the key here: a light breeze from the NW, blowing cross-offshore. That’s going to have the face looking like a mirror. It’s clean, it’s got power, and Mullaway’s point will handle that long-period swell beautifully. This is for the experienced crew though; that size and period will be firing.

The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is about 0.9°F below the norm. Nothing wild, just a bit of a cool nip in the air for the time of year, but nothing a good steamer won’t sort out.

The following morning, Sunday the 26th, is still a decent look. The swell drops a touch to 3ft but the wind goes absolutely glassy. You’ll find clean, fun little waves but it’s much smaller than Saturday. The energy is moderate at 267. It’s a good morning for a longboard if you’re not chasing the big stuff.

After that, the outlook gets poor. We’ve got a long stretch from the 27th right through to the 8th of August of onshore junk, short-period windswell, and messy conditions. The swell sticks around but the wind won’t cooperate. The 30th of July morning sees a 5ft S swell with a 7-second period, but it’s behind a 19 mph cross-offshore wind. That’s a blown-out, choppy mess. Honestly, that setup at a beach break looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

The last few days of the run into early August are tiny – 1ft and 2ft – with confused winds. There’s a brief moment on the 5th and 6th of August with an E swell at a long 12-second period, but it’s only 2ft to 2ft. The energy is low (129 to 172), so it’s not worth getting excited about.

So, the call is simple: if you want the best wave of the next two weeks, don’t miss Saturday morning, the 25th of July at Mullaway. That’s the one.

Rusty.
