Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Look, I’m not gonna lie to you, the next sixteen days at Mullaway is a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid energy pushing in, but the wind is going to be a real pain in the arse for most of it. The water is sitting right around average for this time of year at 69°, so no surprises there.

The week starts off with a bit of a wedge on Tuesday morning. Swell is up to 6ft from the SSE with a 8 second period, and the combined energy is a solid 433. That’s a moderate amount of power. But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the south at 19 mph, and it’s going to be lumpy and pretty much a write-off for a clean wave. The afternoon’s a bit bigger at 7ft, but still cross and messy.

Wednesday morning is the standout. This is the one. The wind goes glassy, a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, and the swell drops to a clean 5ft from the SE. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle that 8 second period fine. The energy is moderate at 300. This is when you want to be in the water. It’ll be clean, and it’s a morning session you’ll remember. The afternoon turns onshore and choppy again, so get it while you can.

Thursday brings a proper punch of energy, but it’s a tough one. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE, with a 10 second period, and the combined energy rockets up to 1230, which is strong. That’s a lot of water moving. The problem is a fresh cross-shore wind from the south at 19 mph. It’s going to be lumpy and a bit of a battle. For the experienced crew, there might be some big, raw waves, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.

Friday is marginal, with 7ft from the SSE and a moderate 885 energy. The morning has a clean cross-off breeze from the SSW, so it’s your next best bet after Wednesday morning. The afternoon gets cross and choppy again.

From Saturday onwards, the surf drops off significantly. We get a few days of small, weak, onshore slop, and then a real flat spell kicks in from Monday the 14th. The energy drops to 68 or less, and the swell is tiny. There’s a long gap here with nothing really worth paddling out for.

There’s a brief flicker on Tuesday the 15th with glassy conditions and a 1ft, 11 second groundswell, but the energy is weak at 77. It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for anything.

The pattern picks up a bit towards the end of the second week. On Wednesday the 16th, we get a 6ft SSE swell with a short 7 second period and 400 energy, but it’s onshore and messy. Then on Saturday the 19th, the wind goes clean and cross-off from the NNW, with a 1ft, 11 second groundswell. It’s small, but the clean conditions make it rideable.

The real takeaway is this: if you’ve got a free Wednesday morning on the 9th, that’s your call. It’s the cleanest, most fun wave of the whole period. The rest of the time, you’ll be fighting the wind or waiting for a tiny clean window.

Rusty.
