Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty lackluster for waves around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy surf ahead, so you’re gonna have to pick your moments carefully. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t even show up until the 14th, so don’t hold your breath for the coming week. There’s a good run of days early on where it just won’t be worth paddling out.

The first spark of life comes on Sunday the 9th. Early morning, we’ve got a light offshore wind from the NNW and a clean 3.3ft of east swell. It’s small, and the energy is weak (184), but it’s surfable. The afternoon gets blown out by a fresh NNE cross-onshore, so make the most of the morning. Monday the 10th has a bit more size, 4.3ft from the ENE, but it’s still pretty weak and the wind, while offshore, is fresh enough to keep things clean but not great. You’re looking at a couple of small, ordinary days after that. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are tiny, with the only highlight being a glassy morning on Tuesday. Thursday the 13th sees a sudden jump in energy to a strong 1379 in the afternoon, but it’s a messy 7.5ft of south swell with a moderate cross-onshore chop. That’s not your friend.

Now, here’s the standout. Friday the 14th, early morning. We get a glassy, clean start with a solid 4.6ft of SSE groundswell at 11 seconds. This is the best swell period of the whole run, and the energy is moderate (443). The wind is dead, the water is 67.1° which is about average for this time of year. This is the one to be out for. Mullaway (NSW) is a point break, so this longer period swell will wrap in nicely. It’s your best chance for a proper wave. The afternoon rolls into an onshore breeze, so hit it early.

After that, we’re back to the grind. The weekend is small and junk, with onshore winds and rain showers. The following week, from the 17th through to the 23rd, is a write-off. Persistent south-southwest winds, rain, and small, weak waves. The energy stays in the low to moderate range, and there’s nothing with any push or direction to it. The setups looks more interesting for a kite session than a surf, to be honest. It’s a long, flat spell, so if you’re jonesing, the 14th is your day. Keep it salty.
