Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Mullaway has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, the start of this forecast period is a bit of a flat patch. We're looking at a few days with barely a ripple, so don't bother paddling out Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is just messy. You're better off doing other things.

Now, things start to get interesting on Monday the 7th. The morning brings in a 0.9m (3ft) SSE swell with a period of 11 seconds. The real kicker here is that the wind is glassy, absolutely dead flat. The wave energy is moderate (258), and with those conditions, Mullaway is looking clean and inviting. It's not a big swell, but for a point break, that longer period will give it some shape. That Monday morning session is a solid highlight for the near term.

The rest of that week is a mixed bag. Wednesday the 9th morning looks alright with a clean 1.2m (4ft) SSE swell and light offshore NNW wind. The energy is moderate (211). But don't get too excited, because the afternoons tend to get chopped up by onshore breezes.

Things get a bit more serious around the 10th and 11th. The swell jumps up, with wave energy readings of 807 and 1416 – that's strong to very strong energy. We're looking at 2.5m (8ft) to 2.0m (7ft) SSE swells. However, the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, and the forecast calls it "marginal." That size, combined with a strong cross-shore wind, will be lumpy and messy. This is expert territory for sure. If you're an experienced surfer who doesn't mind a challenge, it's worth a look, but don't expect perfection.

The second week fades back into smaller, less interesting surf. A lot of poor conditions with onshore winds. There's a glimmer on the morning of the 18th – Friday. That's over a week away now, so take it with a grain of salt. It shows a 2.2m (7ft) SSW groundswell with an 8-second period. The wind is clean offshore from the NNW and the energy is very strong (1022). The report says it's excellent for experienced surfers, and that makes sense. That 2.2m (7ft) is too big for beginners, but for the advanced crew, a clean offshore wind on a point break is a dream. It's a promising call for the long-range, but don't book your flights yet.

So, if you're looking for the standout: Monday morning the 7th. It's small but glassy and clean – perfect for a longboard or a funboard. For the big wave hunters, keep an eye on Friday the 18th morning, but remember it's a long way off.

Rusty out.
