The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s check the pulse at Mullaway – a classic point break that’s exposed and sings with an ESE swell. Water’s runnin’ about 68°, right where it should be for this time of year, so nothin’ unusual there.
Right now, we’re in a flat patch. Friday mornin’s got a weak 2ft SSE bump with a short period and energy barely registerin’ (115). It’s glassy, but it’s tiny. That fizzles out quick as onshore and cross-shore winds take over through Saturday. Sunday and Monday see a little more height – chest-high east swell around 3-4ft – but the winds are sloppy and conditions are poor. Not worth wettin’ a suit.
From now through Thursday the 13th, it’s a real dry run. Some clean mornings, but the swell’s too small and weak to even bother.
Then we hit the good stuff. Friday the 14th – that’s the one. A groundswell from the SSE pushes in at 6ft with a long 13-second period. Combined energy’s crankin’ at (1121). And Friday mornin’? Glassy. Light offshore breeze from the WNW at just 3 mph. That’s clean, powerful lines for experienced surfers only. The swell direction’s a bit south of the ideal, but the quality’s gonna be unreal. This is the standout of the whole run.
The rest of the second week gets a bit choppy with cross-shore winds, but Thursday the 20th has 6-7ft east swell (806 energy) with light cross-offshore wind – clean and very good. Saturday the 22nd offers 5-6ft east swell (822 energy) and glassy conditions in the mornin’. Crowds are likely at Mullaway on days like that, so be early.
Take it from me – Friday the 14th is the day to circle.
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.
