The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here again with the Mullaway outlook. We've got a point break that's pretty consistent, but the forecast is a bit of a mixed deal.
Honestly, there's a few ok windows coming through, but nothing to write home about for a week or so. The first surf worth checking out is on Saturday morning, August 3rd. We're looking at clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, and a 4ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period. The energy is moderate at (390). This is the pick of the run, offering decent shape and clean faces.
Leading into that, the week is choppy and cross-shore, with only so-so conditions. Then Thursday, August 8th shows another shot of cleaner conditions with a NNW wind. The swell is smaller though, at 4ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period and energy at (206). It's clean, but nothing special. After that, the surf drops off to small and messy for a good stretch.
Water temp is a typical 68°, right on the mark for the season.
Don't expect much late in the run. From around August 10th on, the swell fades right out. There's a chance of a glassy morning on August 12th, but only 2ft from the east. The energy is mild at (190) – it's surfable if you're keen for a paddle.
So, it's one of those runs where you gotta pick your moments. Saturday the 3rd and Saturday the 8th are your best shots for clean waves, but don't hold your breath for a pumping swell.
Rusty.

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.
