Alright, Rusty here.
We’ve got a solid-looking run of surf on the way at Mullaway. It’s a classic point break that likes an ESE swell, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing early on. Water temp is right around average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The weekend kicks off with a beauty. Saturday morning (July 11) is looking like the pick of the first week. We’ve got a clean 3.9ft SE swell with a glassy surface, light NW wind – absolute perfection for this point break. The wave energy is moderate (483), and with that 10-second period, it’ll have a nice shape to it. Crowds are often a thing here, so get in early.
Saturday afternoon turns a bit messy as the wind swings around and the swell bumps up to 4.9ft from the ESE, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Not worth getting wet for.
Sunday morning (July 12) cleans up nicely with a WNW cross-off breeze, but the swell has dropped to 3.3ft from the ESE. Still surfable and clean, but a definite step down from Saturday morning. Sunday afternoon goes glassy again with 3.0ft, but it’s a little ordinary.
Monday (July 13) sees the swell drop right off into tiny 2.0ft stuff. The energy is weak (83), and we’re looking at a gap of small, poor waves through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thursday morning (July 16) has an 8.2ft SSE swell, but the wind is a messy cross-shore and the conditions are poor. The energy is high (909), but it’s not gonna be pretty.
Friday (July 17) gets big – 9.8ft SE swell, wave energy is very strong (1574). That’s expert territory. But the wind is cross-shore with rain showers, so it’s a bit of a battle. Not the cleanest. This big, lumpy swell hangs around through Saturday (July 18) with more cross-shore wind, energy peaking at a massive 2818. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
We get a bit of a breather on Sunday (July 19) – still a decent 7.2ft ESE swell, and a cleaner cross-off breeze. The energy is still strong (1063), but it’s a more workable wave. The real standout in the second week, though, is Thursday July 23. The morning session is calling with a 6.6ft SSE groundswell, glassy conditions, and a 13-second period. That’s a very long-period groundswell. Wave energy is strong (1550), and the forecast says “excellent.” This is the one to circle for experienced surfers – it’ll be powerful and fast at Mullaway, but that long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, though on this point it should line up nicely. Keep an eye on it – it’s promising but a week away.

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.
