The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what Mullaway’s got brewin’ for the next couple of weeks.
First things first – don’t rush down there. The early days are pretty flat and ugly. The first real chance to surf is Tuesday the 11th, and it’s nothing to write home about – just 2ft from the ENE, with a WSW offshore wind, but only 75 energy (weak). You’ll probably be better off stayin’ home.
Wednesday morning the 12th is where you want to be. Glassy conditions, no wind at all, and a 3ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period and 228 energy (moderate). That’s the kind of clean, lined-up day that makes a point break like Mullaway shine. Best session of the first week, hands down.
After that, it goes downhill. Thursday through Sunday are all cross-shore winds and chop. Saturday the 15th is particularly rough – 5ft from the S but choppy and messy. Sunday the 16th drops off to just 2ft and 56 energy (weak). Nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, the real fire comes around Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st. Thursday morning brings a 6ft ESE swell, 8-second period, and energy at 764 (strong). Wind is SSW at 15 km/h, cross-offshore, so it’s clean. That’s proper, powerful surf for advanced guys. Friday morning is similar – 7ft from the E, 9 seconds, energy 659 (strong), with just a light S breeze. That’s too much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, that’s the standout of the whole run. Just remember, it’s a week and a half out, so it’s not locked in.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd still offer decent waves – 5ft to 4ft – with cleaner conditions Saturday morning and glass again on Sunday morning. The swell is from the E with a 10-second period, so still some decent shape.
Water temp is about 68°F, which is run-of-the-mill for this time of year.
Bottom line: if you can aim for that Thursday-Friday window around August 20-21, that’s your best shot. The rest is mostly small or blown out. Hang tight.
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.
