The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Mullaway (NSW). This is a point break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, and needs an offshore from the west. It's an advanced wave, so it’s not messing around.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 1st are looking rough—cross-shore winds, choppy conditions, and the swell is all over the place. The good news is it won’t stay flat for long.
Saturday the 2nd of August is where things start to turn. We get a light cross-shore breeze and a 5ft swell from the SE with a 11-second period, giving the wave a bit of push. The water is sitting at 67°, about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (787)—not world-class, but it’s a start. Still, the surf is only marginal, so keep your expectations in check.
Now, Monday the 4th of August morning is a real standout. The wind goes light from the NNW, swinging offshore, and we’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 404, so it’s got some life, and with offshore conditions, Mullaway will be lined up and smooth. This is the pick of the first week. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
After that, we hit a bit of a down period. Tuesday through to the end of the week see small, weak swells and cross-onshore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we get to the second week, and it gets exciting again. Monday the 10th of August morning is glassy, with a 4ft SE swell and a 10-second period. Light offshore winds from the NNW make it clean. Combined energy is 380. It’s a nice, user-friendly session.
But the real one to circle is Tuesday the 11th of August morning. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSE with a short 7-second period, and combined energy is 685. That’s a lot of water moving, and with light offshore winds from the NW, the wave will be hollow and powerful. This is an experienced surfer’s wave—too big for beginners.
Then Wednesday the 12th of August morning is even bigger: 8ft from the SSE, period 9 seconds, combined energy through the roof at 1900. Offshore winds from the SSW make it clean, but this is expert-only territory. Massive.
Thursday the 13th of August morning brings a glassy 5ft SSE swell with a 9-second period—clean and manageable, a nice rest day after the big stuff.
Finally, Friday the 14th of August morning is another good one: 7ft SSE swell, 8-second period, glassy offshore with a combined energy of 645. Clean and punchy for the experienced crew.
So if I had to pick the best on offer: Monday the 4th of August morning for a clean, shoulder-high session, and Tuesday the 11th of August morning for the bigger, more powerful stuff if you’ve got the skills. The long-range standouts (the 12th and 14th) are promising but less certain this far out.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.

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.

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.
