Alright, let's break it down.

Alright, listen up. Rusty here. It's a bit of a mixed bag on the cards for Mullaway over the next couple of weeks – a few moments of glassy magic, but a whole lot of nothing in between.

We've got a decent little pulse lining up for the start, but don't get too excited. Friday the 10th is a write-off – a lumpy, cross-shore 6ft SE swell with moderate energy (738) making a mess of things. Not one to paddle out for.

The standout is clear as day and it's coming up fast. Saturday morning on the 11th. It's the jewel in the crown. We're looking at a clean 4ft groundswell from the ESE with a 10 second period and moderate energy (483), but the wind is the real story – it's glassy. Dead flat, offshore from the NW. For a point break like Mullaway that needs it clean, this is the session to circle on the calendar. The water's sitting at a normal 68°F, so nothing unusual there.

After that glassy high, Saturday afternoon degrades quickly with a cross-on wind, and Sunday the 12th is not worth the drive. Monday the 13th is tiny. Then we hit a proper drought.

From Monday afternoon the 13th right through to Friday the 17th, it's either tiny or onshore junk. There are long gaps with nothing to recommend – days of flat, weak energy (down to 17 on the 14th) and poor conditions. A couple of mornings like Wednesday the 15th have clean cross-off winds but the period is short (6 seconds) and the quality is terrible. This stretch is a blank run for a surfer.

The second week is a write-off too, I'm afraid. From the 18th right through to the 25th, it's a continuous run of weak, short-period swell and poor wind. Energy values barely crack 300 at their best, and most days are choppy or onshore. The morning of Thursday the 24th looks glassy with a hint of offshore, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the E. You'd be fighting for scraps. Saturday the 25th is the final nail – clean wind but only 2ft of swell.

So, in short: Saturday morning, the 11th of July, at dawn, is your window. Get on it before it gets blown out. The rest of the fortnight is a waiting game.

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.
