The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Gotta level with you – for the next week and a half, it’s a pretty bleak stretch out there. Loads of days with nothing worth chasing, but there’s one morning that’s got a silver lining.
We kick off with a dry spell. From Saturday the 12th through to Monday the 21st of September, it’s mostly tiny, choppy, and onshore. Not worth suiting up. Water temp is 68.5°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
Then, on Saturday the 19th of September, things flip. Mullaway is a point break that loves an east-southeast swell. That morning we’ve got a clean 5.6ft swell from the east-southeast, with a period of 11 seconds – proper groundswell with moderate energy (771). And the wind? Dead glassy. Offshore calm from the northeast at just 3 mph. It’s gonna be pristine, clean faces. This is your one shot. It’s an advanced wave, and with quality like that, expect crowds to be around often.
The window slams shut by Saturday afternoon as the wind swings onshore. From Sunday the 20th onward, it’s back to small, onshore dribble under 3ft. We see a bump to 5.2ft around Wednesday the 23rd, but it’s cross-shore chop with no quality. The rest of the run through to the 27th offers nothing.
One morning to chase. That’s the lot.

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.
