The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s headin’ to Mullaway for the next couple weeks.
First few days are a bust. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are tiny, choppy, and cross-onshore—not worth paddlin’ out.
First real action comes Wednesday morning, the 16th. A solid SSE swell hits 8 ft, period around 8 seconds, and the wind turns clean cross-off from the south. The energy’s hefty (679) and this size is for experts only. Water’s about 68°, nothing unusual for the season. Mullaway’s a point break, so it should handle it well with that offshore wind.
Thursday the 17th stays big. Morning sees another 8 ft SSE swell, period now 10 seconds, with cross-off SSW wind. Energy’s pumping (1199). This is still only for the experienced crew. Crowds are often a thing here.
Friday the 18th drops a little. Swell down to 6 ft from the SE, morning wind is cross from the SSE, so waves will be a bit lumpy. Afternoon gets a clean onshore from the ESE—rideable but nothing special.
Saturday the 19th morning is the real highlight. You’ve got 5 ft of SE groundswell with a long 11-second period, and the wind is barely a whisper from the NNE—near glassy. That long period will wrap around the point proper. Energy is moderate (609). This is the session to aim for. Expect a few locals in the lineup.
After that, it fades. Sunday the 20th onward, size drops off hard and wind turns messy. There’s a pulse of short-period S swell on Monday the 21st at 6 ft, but the period is only 6 seconds—won’t hold shape. The rest of the month is mostly small, choppy, or onshore slop.
One last note: Saturday the 26th morning is glassy but tiny at 4 ft with weak energy (155). Only if you’re jonesin’ for a flat paddle.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 16th for the brave, but Saturday the 19th morning is your best shot—clean lines, long period, and that point will be workin’.
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.
