Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Mullaway are a mixed bag. We’ve got a decent pulse of energy coming through mid-week, but the winds are going to make things tricky. For the most part, you’ll be waiting for the rare windows of clean conditions. The standout window is Thursday the 17th in the morning, and then maybe a sneaky glassy session on Saturday the 19th morning.

Let’s start with Tuesday the 15th – tiny, weak surf with a cross-shore breeze. Combined energy is only 49 (very weak). Not worth paddling out. Wednesday the 16th sees a jump in size, with swell hitting 8 ft in the morning from the SSE, period 8 seconds, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore and it’s lumpy. Combined energy climbs to 612 (moderate). Still, the quality is poor – it’s messy and lumpy. Wednesday afternoon gets even bigger at 10 ft from the SSE, but the wind strengthens to a strong cross-shore, making it a choppy mess. That’s expert-only territory and even then, not great.

Now, Thursday the 17th morning is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a solid 10 ft SSE swell, period 10 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. Combined energy is a whopping 3105 (very strong). This is the standout of the whole forecast – big, powerful groundswell with clean conditions. Mullaway is a point break, so it should handle that size and direction well, but it’s advanced-only at this size. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 8 ft and the wind goes cross-shore, so the window is tight.

Friday the 18th drops right off – morning has 4 ft from the SSE, but it’s light cross-onshore with marginal conditions. Not great. Saturday the 19th morning is a tease – tiny 3 ft SSE swell, period 10 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. Combined energy is 204 (weak). It’ll be clean but small. Could be a fun log session if you’re keen. Sunday the 20th is flat and poor.

From Monday the 21st through to the end of the month, it’s mostly small, weak, and onshore. There’s a pulse of long-period swell on Wednesday the 23rd morning – 2 ft SSE with a 19-second period – but the wind is light cross-onshore and the energy is only 466 (moderate). That long period might wrap nicely into the point, but the size is tiny. The rest is forgettable. Combined energy values are all below 500, mostly in the 100-300 range.

So, to sum it up: Thursday the 17th morning is your best bet if you’re an experienced surfer – big, clean, powerful swell. Saturday the 19th morning offers a tiny, glassy alternative for the longboard. Otherwise, it’s a whole lot of waiting. Keep an eye on the forecast, because things can change.
