Mullaway Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Mullaway’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly mate, we’re staring down a bit of a flat spell for the most part. Mullaway’s a point break that’s exposed to an ESE swell, but the stars just aren’t lining up. The water’s sittin’ at 67°, which is about average for the time of year – nothin’ crazy there. The swell energy’s weak for a lot of this run, with the combined energy values barely breakin’ triple digits for days on end. There are a couple of little windows where it might be worth a paddle, but you’ve gotta pick your moment.

Kicking off Thursday 13th, we’ve got a 5ft SSE swell creepin’ in with a period of just 8 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, and with a cross-onshore breeze, it’s gonna be choppy. The combined energy is 300 – moderate – but the conditions are poor. Give it a miss.

Friday 14th sees a bit more size in the morning – 6ft from the south, period up to 9 seconds – but it’s cross-shore wind, and the score’s only marginal. That’s a no from me. Afternoon drops back to 4ft and gets messy again.

Into the weekend, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th are both full of cross and cross-onshore winds, with swell around 4 to 5ft. The energy’s bumpin’ up a bit (137 to 252), but it’s just not clean. Another write-off.

Monday 17th has the biggest swell of the week at 6ft from the ESE, period 7 seconds and combined energy of 467. That’s moderate energy, but with cross-onshore winds and rain showers, it’s a choppy mess. Too big and messy for beginners, and honestly, not much fun for anyone.

The whole week from Thursday 13th through to Thursday 21st is a long stretch of poor to marginal surf. There’s a couple of clean windows – like Saturday 22nd afternoon, when the wind goes light offshore from the west and the swell is 4ft from the NE, period 8 seconds. That’s a standout. Combined energy hits 218, and it’s glassy. That’s your best bet in the first week. Small but clean.

Sunday 23rd morning is another contender – glassy conditions, a 3ft ENE swell with a 9-second period, and combined energy of 189. It’s only knee-to-waist high, but if you’re keen for a longboard glide, it could be fun. Crowds? Mullaway is “often” crowded, so expect company at a point break this clean.

Then we hit a gap. Monday 24th through Thursday 27th is pretty flat, with swell dropping to 2ft and even 1ft. Energy dips to 80, then 41. Hardly worth wettin’ a line. That’s a solid four-day lull.

But hold onto your leggie, because Friday 28th morning throws a curveball. A 5ft SSE swell rolls in with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 567, which is moderate-to-strong. The wind is light and cross-shore, so conditions are clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook. For advanced surfers, that’s a solid session on the cards. That long period will wrap nicely around the point, but at a beach break it might straighten out – lucky for us, Mullaway’s a point. Keep an eye on the tides.

So, the takeaway: if you can wait, Saturday 22nd afternoon and Sunday 23rd morning give you clean but small waves. The real highlight is Friday 28th – a decent SSE groundswell with light winds. That’s the one.

Rusty.
