Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Mullaway over the next couple of weeks.

If you’re looking for a proper session, this stretch is gonna have a real split personality. The first week is mostly small and pretty ordinary, but the second week is where the serious juice kicks in. For a point break, Mullaway is a fairly consistent spot, so there’s always hope.

First up, Tuesday 4th August morning is a bit of a tease. We’ve got a tiny 2ft wave from the ESE with a 8 second period, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NW, so it’s clean. The combined energy is weak (98), so it’s small and weak. Not much to get excited about, but it’s a paddle.

Wednesday 5th August morning is a step up. The swell is a bit bigger at 2ft from the E, with a 10 second period, and the wind is glassy from the S. That’s a beautiful thing. The energy is moderate (102), and the conditions are glassy. For a point break, these long-period, straight lines can be a bit tricky, but with the wind like that, it’s a good chance for a clean, fun wave.

Thursday 6th and Friday 7th are pretty lacklustre, with tiny swell and poor conditions. Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th bring a bit of size but with messy winds. Saturday is a write-off, and Sunday 9th morning has a 3ft E swell with a 9 second period and a cross-off from the NNW, but the combined energy is moderate (171) and the scores are low. It’s surfable but not worth the drive.

Now, Monday 10th August morning is a real highlight. The wind is glassy from the W, the swell is 3ft from the ENE with a 9 second period, and the energy is moderate (140). The conditions are glassy, clean, and the point should be lining up nicely. This is the best session of the first week.

Tuesday 11th August morning is another standout. We’ve got a 4ft S swell with a short, punchy 7 second period, but it’s dead calm – glassy. The combined energy is strong (327), and the conditions are glassy. This is a proper window for a clean, punchy wave. It’s a bit small for advanced, but for most surfers, it’s a gem.

The second week is where Mullaway gets serious. Thursday 14th August morning starts a run of big, powerful swell. We’ve got a 7ft SSE swell with an 11 second period, and the wind is a cross-off from the SSW. The combined energy is very strong (1256), and the conditions are clean. This is a big, powerful groundswell, and for a point break, that’s a proper setup. The afternoon is similar at 8ft, but it’s still clean. This is big, strong, and for experts only.

Friday 15th August morning is huge: 10ft from the S with a 10 second period, and a cross-off from the S. The energy is massive (3133), and the conditions are clean. This is a serious, powerful swell. The afternoon is a bit messy with a cross-on, but the morning is outstanding for experienced surfers.

Saturday 16th August morning is again 10ft from the SSE with an 11 second period, and a cross-off from the S. The energy is very strong (2023), and the conditions are clean.

The absolute standout, though, is Monday 17th August morning. We’ve got 10ft from the SE with a 10 second period, and the wind is glassy from the SE. The combined energy is very strong (1693), and the conditions are glassy. For a point break, this is a dream scenario. It’s big, powerful, and perfectly clean. This is only for experts, but if you’ve got the skills, this is the best session of the entire outlook.

The run continues with dropping size through Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th, but the wind gets a bit messy. The early part of the second week is the clear winner.

So, if you can wait, the 14th to the 17th of August are the real deal. The 11th is a nice little warm-up, but the 17th is the one to block out.
