The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it's a rough start. The next few days are looking pretty average, with a lot of messy, choppy conditions. The wind is just not playing ball, coming in from the wrong angles and making a mess of things. The surf is there, but the quality is poor. We're looking at a bit of a dry spell until we get to the middle of next week.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 9th of September. The morning sees a light cross-shore breeze, which is a huge improvement. The swell is a clean 6 ft from the SSE, with a solid period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 521, so there's some push behind it. It's still a bit marginal, but it's the best we've got. Mullaway is a point break, so this longer-period groundswell will really wrap in nicely. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Then, Thursday the 12th of September is your standout. Saturday morning is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. The wind is a light cross-shore from the south, which is perfect for cleaning up the line-up. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the south, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1585 – that's strong wave energy, and you'll feel it. This is a setup for some serious walls at Mullaway. The water is still around that 68° mark. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Get it if you can.
The following week is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell drops off, but there are some promising mornings with light winds, especially around Sunday the 15th of September. The swell is smaller, around 5 ft, and the period is a long 12 seconds, which will be a bit testing for the point. It'll be more about the long, clean lines for the patient ones. The wind is going to be a problem in the afternoons, so plan for dawn patrols.
All in all, the waiting game is on. The first few days are a write-off, but the middle of the second week, particularly the 12th, is looking magic. Keep an eye on that one.
Rusty.

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.
