Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m gonna give you the straight-up, no-BS rundown for Mullaway Point. This is a classic point break, and it’s got some serious potential in the window, but you gotta pick your moments.

The first few days are a write-off, to be honest. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are pretty grim. Small, weak, messy waves with cross-shore winds. Not worth paddling out for. The energy is pathetic, just a measly 135 (moderate wave energy) on Thursday morning, dropping lower. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is just about average for this time of year, nothing weird.

Now, hold onto your board, because the real show starts on Saturday the 25th. That morning is a standout. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the SSE, but it’s the *period* that gets you—14 seconds of proper groundswell. The energy is massive, 1089 (strong wave energy). And the wind? Light offshore from the NW. That’s the recipe for clean, powerful lines peeling down the point. This is a session for the experienced crew, though. That size and period will be pushing it for beginners. The water will be clean, and the sets will have some real punch.

Sunday the 26th still has some good, clean leftovers from the groundswell, but it’s smaller at 4ft. Glassy in the morning, but the onshore kicks in by the afternoon. This is a solid runner-up.

The second week has a few more highlights. On the 30th of July, the morning is small, but the afternoon turns on with a 7ft swell from the south and a solid offshore wind. That’s a good one. But the real standout for the second week is Friday the 31st of July. We’re looking at a clean 8ft swell from the SSE with a light offshore wind. The energy is huge, 1259 (strong wave energy). This is a proper, powerful groundswell hitting the point. For the experts only, no question. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit more manageable than that 14-second stuff from the 25th, but still a serious wave.

Then there’s a bit of a gap. The 1st of August has a glassy 8ft swell in the morning, but it gets messy. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th have some clean, smaller swells, nothing to write home about. The 7th of August, the last day in the window, has a glassy 5ft swell from the ESE with a 10-second period. A nice, clean way to end it, but not a standout.

Look, honestly, the 25th and the 31st are the ones. The 25th has that incredible long-period groundswell and perfect wind. The 31st has the size and the offshore wind. Tackle those, and you’ll get the best of what Mullaway has to offer.

Rusty.
