The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya with the local outlook for Mullaway. It's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are some real gems hidden in there if you're patient.

We’re kicking off the week with some pretty ordinary conditions. Monday the 27th of July starts off with a bit of a tease – a clean, glassy 3ft swell from the SSE, but the water temp is sitting at about average for the time of year, around 68°. The problem is that just doesn't last, and by the afternoon the wind shifts onshore, turning it messy. The rest of the week is a write-off, really. We've got a few days of tiny surf and poor winds, with a little bump of energy from a short-period swell on Thursday the 30th, but it's cross-shore and choppy, so no good.

Then things get a bit more interesting. Friday the 31st of July sees a jump in size, with a 6ft S swell rolling in, but it's still cross-shore and a bit lumpy. It's not the cleanest, but the energy is there (1381). Saturday morning the 1st of August is similar, with a 6ft S swell, but still messy. You’d have to be keen.

The real standout here is the window from Sunday the 2nd of August through to the following weekend. This is where Mullaway shows its class. Sunday morning is absolutely glassy, with a clean 4ft SE groundswell (period of 10 seconds). The energy is moderate (231), but that offshore wind makes it look like a dream. The pick of the bunch, though, is the morning of Friday the 7th of August. We’re looking at a solid 6ft SSE groundswell (period of 10 seconds) with a glassy, light offshore wind. The combined energy is ripping at 1273 – that’s proper, powerful stuff. It says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s spot on. For a point break like Mullaway, that long-period energy will dial in beautifully, offering up long, clean walls. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Saturday the 8th of August morning is also a stunner. Another 6ft SE groundswell, absolutely glassy, with energy at 851. It’s going to be a cracking few days if you can get out there. The crowds are a factor here, as it’s often busy, so get in early.

The second week settles back down. We get some cleaner, smaller waves on the 9th and 10th, but nothing that compares to that peak around the 7th and 8th. The energy drops off, and the winds become less reliable. The last few days of the forecast are back to that small, onshore summer pattern we started with.

So, keep your eyes on that Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August. That’s the good stuff.

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.
