Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mullaway over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way at Mullaway.
Right off the bat, this is a classic case of a slow start. The first couple of days are pretty flat and not worth paddling out for. Sunday the 12th has a little bump of 3ft from the ESE with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 205 (moderate), but the morning cross-off wind from the WNW keeps it clean. Still, the wave comment says it’s good, but with the size and short stretch of decent conditions, it’s not a standout. After that, we’ve got a real dry spell from Sunday afternoon through to about the end of the week – Monday and Tuesday are tiny, with wave heights dropping to 0.7ft and no energy to speak of. Wednesday the 15th gets a bit of a push, but the wind is howling and the period is a short 4 seconds, making it a messy affair.
The real story, and the only true standout in this whole outlook, is the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. You’ve got a solid 8ft of groundswell from the ESE, with a very long period of 12 seconds – that’s proper energy, 1516 on the combined scale (strong). The wind is blowing offshore from the west at a light 6 mph, which is going to leave the surface glassy. Mullaway is a point break, so that long-period swell is going to line up nicely, offering clean, powerful lines. This one is for the advanced crew – anything over 8ft is expert territory, and at 8ft it’s still big, so leave the log at home. Expect some company too; this spot gets crowded often, so get there early.
That Tuesday morning window is the cherry. Leading into it, the Monday the 20th morning also looks tidy with 7ft from the ESE, a cross-off from the NW, and moderate energy (750), but that Tuesday morning takes the crown for power and wind.
After the 21st, the size backs off but remains rideable through to the 24th and 25th, with clean mornings and smaller, more manageable waves around 4ft to 6ft. The very end of the period into the 27th drops off again into tiny 2ft leftovers with long periods, but the energy is weak (89). Not worth the wetsuit.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Just a solid winter swell window coming through.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

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.
