The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the Mullaway stretch over the next couple of weeks. It starts off quiet, but there’s some promise if you’re willing to wait.

The first real chance comes on Sunday the 26th of July. Mullaway is the break we’re lookin’ at – a classic point, exposed to the swell, and it breaks fairly consistently. Water temp’s 68°, right about average for the season, so nothing unusual.

That Sunday morning, we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period. The combined energy’s moderate at 339, and with glassy WSW winds at just 3 mph, it’s gonna be real clean. A nice little session, not big, but lined up. Afternoon turns onshore with a 6 mph ENE breeze, so the window’s short. Swell bumps a touch to 4ft, but it gets messy.

Monday the 27th has a smaller 3ft SSE swell in the morning, still glassy, but energy drops to 176 and the period’s shorter at 10 seconds. Surfable, but ordinary. Tuesday’s even smaller, 3ft with an 8-second period, energy down to 86. Weak.

Then we hit a dry stretch. From Wednesday the 29th through to Friday the 1st of August, it’s mostly under 3ft or blown out. There’s a pulse on Friday the 31st – 6ft SSE swell with an 11-second period and strong energy of 761 in the clean morning cross-off wind – but the forecast calls it marginal, so maybe for the keen ones.

The weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of August shows more size, 5 to 5ft swells, but winds are messy. The real standout is Monday the 3rd of August morning. That’s the one. We’ve got 5ft of SSE swell, 11-second period, and glassy 3 mph winds from the SSE. Combined energy’s a solid 566, and the call is for very good surf conditions. That’s a clean, lined-up morning. Afternoon turns ugly with onshore winds.

Another little tease on Tuesday the 4th morning – 4ft from the ESE with an 11-second period, clean cross-off NNW breeze, energy at 350. Good, but not the standout.

The big one brews for the second week. Sunday the 9th of August morning, we’ve got 5ft SSE swell, glassy light WNW winds, energy of 594 – very good. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the S, with a 10-second period, offshore W winds, and energy hitting 978. Solid and clean. Then Monday the 10th of August morning is the absolute pick: 7ft from the S, 9-second period, clean cross-off NW winds, and massive energy of 1212. That’s expert territory – too big for beginners, powerful. The point should handle it, but you’ll need your wits. Long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

Best on offer: Monday the 3rd of August morning for a clean, medium-size session, and Monday the 10th of August morning for the bigger stuff if you’re skilled. The rest is mostly small or blown. Be patient.

Rusty.

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.
