Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Mullaway’s got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the blood pumping.
First up, we’re looking at a pretty slow start. Friday the 3rd has a weak little 3ft swell from the ENE with a short 7-second period – wave energy is low, only 94, and the wind is a light cross-offshore, so the waves that show will be clean but gutless. Not worth paddling out for.
Saturday the 4th morning brings a bit more life: a south swell at 4ft, period 7 seconds, energy jumps to 330. The wind is a light cross-off, and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the first real chance for a surf, but it’s not a standout.
We’ve got a big gap of poor conditions from Saturday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday the 7th. Sunday the 5th gets messy with 18–25 mph southerly winds and lumpy chop. By Tuesday the 7th we start seeing proper swell size coming in from the SSE, 8ft, with a 10-second period and energy of 2383 on Tuesday morning. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean – but that’s big, powerful stuff, 8ft, only for the experienced crew. That size continues through Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th with 8ft SSE swells, periods of 10–11 seconds, and energy readings over 2000. Winds stay cross-off, so the surface is clean, but these are expert-only waves.
Now, if I had to call the standout for the whole outlook, it’s Wednesday the 15th of July, morning session. The swell drops a touch from the earlier big days, but the forecast is pure gold: 8ft from the south, 10-second period, strong wave energy of 1988. The wind is a gentle offshore from the WSW – 9 mph. That’s the recipe for perfection at a point break like Mullaway. The conditions are described as “excellent surf for experienced surfers.” This is the one to circle on your calendar. Expect clean, powerful, well-shaped point waves. Crowds are often here, so be ready for company.
After that, Thursday the 16th afternoon is a nice little bonus – swell drops to 5ft SSE, and the wind goes glassy (0 mph). That’s a smooth, small-wave session for anyone who missed the big stuff.
Water temperature is sitting at about 68°F, which is only one degree cooler than normal, nothing unusual – just your average winter water.
The second week looks quieter. By Sunday the 12th, we’re down to a tiny 3ft SE swell with a light offshore, surfable but weak. After that, a long gap of tiny to no waves until another small pulse on Tuesday the 14th (4ft SSE, 9 seconds) and then our standout on the 15th. The rest of the week tails off into small, wind-affected slop.
Bottom line: Mullaway’s a solid point, and it’s going to pump for the experienced crew mid-week on the 7th through 9th, but if you’re looking for the absolute best conditions with that offshore wind, the morning of Wednesday the 15th is your winner. The early part of the outlook is mostly a write-off, and the second week fades fast after that Wednesday.
Rusty out.

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.
