Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for Mullaway. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there’s some light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
Straight up, the first week is a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but poor conditions from Monday the 13th right through to the end of the weekend on the 19th. The south winds are just howling, making a mess of things with lumpy, cross-shore chop. Even when there’s a bit of swell, like on Wednesday the 15th with 6ft of S-SSE swell (392 energy), the 19 mph wind is blowing right across it, so it’s just not gonna be fun out there. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
Now, the first real glimmer comes on Monday the 20th. The morning is looking clean as a whistle with a cross-offshore breeze. We’ll see some 6ft E swell with a 10-second period beating into the point. That’s a solid combo, with the combined energy at 734 – moderate but with some push. The only bummer? The crowds at Mullaway are often an issue, so you’ll want to be out early to grab a few clean ones before the pack shows up. This is probably the standout session of the whole run.
After that, the week settles into average but surfable conditions. Nothing epic. Wednesday the 22nd morning has clean 4ft E swell (210 energy), and then we get a nice run through to the second weekend. For my money, the best call is the morning of Saturday the 25th. It’s cloudy, the wind is a clean cross-offshore, and we’ve got 3ft of E swell with a long 11-second period (295 energy). That groundswell will wrap nicely into the point, offering some long, lined-up walls. It’s a great little window of clean, user-friendly waves, but the crowds will likely be there again.
Looking into the final days, Monday the 27th morning sees a solid offshore wind with 3ft E swell (184 energy), but that’s really the end of the run. By Tuesday the 28th, the energy drops right off to just 62 and it’s all over.
So, to wrap it up: ditch the first week. Your best bet is Monday morning the 20th for a bit more size and power, or the Saturday morning the 25th for cleaner, longer-period lines. If you can’t make those, don’t stress – the second half of the run has a few little windows that could surprise you.
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.
