Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya with the local outlook for Mullaway. It's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are some real gems hidden in there if you're patient.

We’re kicking off the week with some pretty ordinary conditions. Monday the 27th of July starts off with a bit of a tease – a clean, glassy 3ft swell from the SSE, but the water temp is sitting at about average for the time of year, around 68°. The problem is that just doesn't last, and by the afternoon the wind shifts onshore, turning it messy. The rest of the week is a write-off, really. We've got a few days of tiny surf and poor winds, with a little bump of energy from a short-period swell on Thursday the 30th, but it's cross-shore and choppy, so no good.

Then things get a bit more interesting. Friday the 31st of July sees a jump in size, with a 6ft S swell rolling in, but it's still cross-shore and a bit lumpy. It's not the cleanest, but the energy is there (1381). Saturday morning the 1st of August is similar, with a 6ft S swell, but still messy. You’d have to be keen.

The real standout here is the window from Sunday the 2nd of August through to the following weekend. This is where Mullaway shows its class. Sunday morning is absolutely glassy, with a clean 4ft SE groundswell (period of 10 seconds). The energy is moderate (231), but that offshore wind makes it look like a dream. The pick of the bunch, though, is the morning of Friday the 7th of August. We’re looking at a solid 6ft SSE groundswell (period of 10 seconds) with a glassy, light offshore wind. The combined energy is ripping at 1273 – that’s proper, powerful stuff. It says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s spot on. For a point break like Mullaway, that long-period energy will dial in beautifully, offering up long, clean walls. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Saturday the 8th of August morning is also a stunner. Another 6ft SE groundswell, absolutely glassy, with energy at 851. It’s going to be a cracking few days if you can get out there. The crowds are a factor here, as it’s often busy, so get in early.

The second week settles back down. We get some cleaner, smaller waves on the 9th and 10th, but nothing that compares to that peak around the 7th and 8th. The energy drops off, and the winds become less reliable. The last few days of the forecast are back to that small, onshore summer pattern we started with.

So, keep your eyes on that Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August. That’s the good stuff.
