The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Mullaway.
We're in for a pretty slow start, honestly. The next few days are looking flat and weak, with the wind just not doin' us any favors. Gonna have to be patient.
The real standout is shaping up for Friday morning, July 31st. Now this one's got me stoked. We're talkin' a solid 6.2ft swell from the south, with a 12-second period. That's proper groundswell, bringin' a ton of energy (1487). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, which is gonna keep the surface glassy and clean. This is excellent surf, but it's definitely for the experienced crew only – that size at a point break like Mullaway (Big Island) will have some serious power. Crowds are often an issue here, so expect a few lads out.
The next best chance is Sunday morning, August 2nd. Swell drops back to 3.6ft from the SE, with a 10-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, keepin' it clean. The energy is moderate (239). It's not the size of the Friday session, but it'll be a fun, rideable wave.
After that, Monday morning, August 3rd, offers a similar story – 3.6ft SE swell, light cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions (262 energy). Worth paddling out if you missed the weekend.
Then there's a bit of a lull. The swell gets a bit bigger mid-week, but the wind is messy and onshore, so the quality drops off a cliff. By the following Sunday morning, August 9th, we get a nice little window. It's a 3.9ft SSE swell with the wind going glassy, dead calm. That's a beautiful sight for a point break like Mullaway, even if the energy is moderate (285). It'll be small but clean and fun.

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.
