Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Mullaway stretch.

The forecast kicks off with a bit of a slow start, but this is a classic point break setup that knows how to handle a bit of south in the swell. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no real surprises there.

Saturday the 4th is the first real shout. You've got a clean 5ft swell from the south, with a cross-offshore breeze and moderate wave energy (424). It's not huge, but the conditions are dialed in for a good session. Mullaway is a point break, so it will handle this swell nicely, offering up some long, lined-up walls. Keep in mind, this spot can get busy, so expect some company in the water.

Sunday morning the 5th is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell drops to 3ft from the south, but the wind howls up to 25 km/h from the SSW. It's still cross-off, so it'll be clean, but that is a lot of wind for a small wave. It’s a marginal call, but there might be a window early.

From Monday the 6th through to Wednesday the 16th, we're looking at a solid but messy run of surf. The swell jumps up and stays consistently above 7ft, and by Tuesday the 7th, it's hitting 10ft and there's a strong SSE groundswell with long 11-second periods. The wave energy is massive (3179), but the wind is pumping at 30 km/h. This is big, powerful, and lumpy. For most surfers, this is expert-only territory, and the chop will make it hard work. The point might offer some shelter, but the combo of size and wind means it's more of a battle than a joyride.

The real standout, and the one to circle on the calendar, is Friday the 10th. The morning is looking gold. You've got a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, with a very long 12-second period. That's proper groundswell. The energy is huge (3257), but the wind is a moderate 20 km/h from the SSW, keeping it cross-off and clean. For a point break like Mullaway, this is the kind of swell that will wrap in perfectly, offering up some of the best, most powerful waves of the stretch. This is advanced territory, but if you've got the skills, this is the day.

Saturday the 11th sees the swell drop back to 5ft, and the wind backs off, but it's a cross-off breeze from the SSW. It's a smaller, cleaner option for a more relaxed session, but nothing special compared to the day before.

The middle of the following week sees a little pulse of small, clean surf on the 14th, with a 5ft south swell and a moderate breeze, but it's not a major event.

The second week picks up again around the 15th and 16th, with swell hanging around 7ft to 8ft, but the wind is back up to 25-30 km/h. It's clean, but the size and wind make it a power session, not a cruiser.

The 17th and 18th see another spike of 10ft swell with 35 km/h winds. That's howling, and the point will be a wind-blown mess. The 19th finally sees the wind drop to 20 km/h, with a 8ft swell from the SSE, offering a cleaner, more manageable end to the run.

So, the best on offer is the Friday the 10th morning session. That's the standout. Saturday the 4th is a solid warm-up. For the rest, it's a lot of big, windy surf that's only for the keen and the experienced.

Rusty out.

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.
