The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again with the same outlook for Mullaway, but in feet and miles per hour. It's a slow start, but there's some fire on the horizon.

We're starting from Sunday the 6th, and honestly, it's not worth wetting a wetsuit. The wind is howlin' out of the SSE at 19 mph, putting a nasty bump on the surface. The swell's about 7 ft but with a short period of 6 seconds, so it's just a messy, lumpy affair. The water's about 68°F, normal for the time of year, but that wind is the real story.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are more of the same – cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. There's wave energy there, but it's not doing you any favors.

Now, Wednesday the 9th morning. This is our first real glimpse of something good. A light NNW breeze, blowing cross-offshore, will clean things right up. The swell is 5 ft from the SE with an 8-second period. It's not a big swell, but it'll be clean and rideable. Good for a quick session.

The big news is Thursday the 10th. The morning is the standout. The swell jumps to a solid 8 ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, and the energy is strong. The wind is SSW at 16 mph, and it's cross-offshore. That's going to be clean and powerful at Mullaway point. This is expert territory at that size, so know your limits. The morning is the window.

Friday the 11th holds good size, around 6 to 7 ft, with the period stretching out to 11 seconds. The wind picks up to 16 mph out of the south, cross-shore, so there'll be some texture on the face. Still plenty of water moving for the experienced crew.

Saturday the 12th sees the swell ease back to 5-6 ft, and the wind stays cross-shore. It's marginal.

Then it's a long, quiet stretch from Sunday the 13th right through to Friday the 18th. The swell drops to 4 ft and below, with only a small, clean pulse on Friday the 18th morning. That morning has 5 ft from the south with a cross-offshore NW wind at 12 mph, so it'll be clean again. After that, it drops to nearly nothing.

Saturday the 19th morning is the last flicker. The swell is tiny, only 3 ft, but the wind is a glassy 3 mph from the NNW, cross-offshore. It'll be clean as a whistle if you want to take a longboard out.

So, for the best of the bunch, it's Thursday morning, September the 10th. The biggest, cleanest swell of the whole run. Wednesday the 9th morning and Friday the 18th morning are your backups for cleaner, smaller waves. The rest is a write-off.

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.
