The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Mullaway over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough start. We're looking at a solid week of nothing much happening. The first real sniff of something decent doesn't show up until the morning of Tuesday the 11th, and even then it's pretty weak. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft from the ENE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (77). It's surfable, but you'd be scratching for a ride.
Things stay pretty average right through to the end of the week. The morning of Friday the 14th sees a bit more size – 6 ft from the S – with a clean, cross-off wind from the SSW at 12 mph. The energy picks up to moderate (723), but the score is still just marginal. It's not total junk, but it's not a standout.
The best on offer is a long way off, on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning is looking like a true gem. We've got a 6 ft swell from the east, with a period of 10 seconds. That's a nice, solid groundswell. The real kicker is the wind: glassy, absolutely zero. The combined energy is strong (1016). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – the 6 ft height means it's a bit much for beginners, but for the crew who know what they're doing, Mullaway is going to be firing. The swell direction (E) is a bit off the optimum (ESE) for the point, but with glassy conditions, it's still going to be the best session of the whole forecast by a long shot. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The crowd factor is "often", so expect a few locals out sharing the love on that Sunday morning.
The afternoon of the 23rd stays clean with a light cross-on breeze, but the morning window is the one to chase.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat dry spell, then one clear standout day on Sunday the 23rd. If you're patient, it'll pay off.

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.
