The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are a tough watch for Mullaway. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The first real whisper of anything surfable doesn’t really show up until the morning of Thursday the 11th, and even then, it’s a tricky one. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly cross-shore winds and tiny lumps, with the combined energy barely reaching the low hundreds most days. The best of a bad bunch looks like the morning of Saturday the 12th, but we’ll get to that.
The standout window, or at least the most interesting swell in the whole period, arrives on Friday morning the 11th. We’ve got a solid pulse of groundswell coming in from the SSE, pushing about 7 ft, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is a serious 1878, which is significant. But here’s the catch – the wind is a moderate cross-shore out of the south, which will throw a bit of a chop across the face. That big, long-period energy is going to be powerful, wrapping around the point, but it’s going to be a challenge to find a clean face. For experienced surfers only, this is the one to look at. The water is sitting around 68°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
After that, the morning of Saturday the 12th offers a more manageable but still marginal option. Swell drops to about 4 ft from the SE with a period of 11 seconds, combined energy of 434. A light cross-shore breeze out of the south will keep it from being completely blown out, but it’s still a cross-shore, so don’t expect perfection. The wave comment says “marginal,” which sums it up. It’s not a classic, but if you’re keen, it’s the most likely to offer a few rides.
Really, the whole period is a write-off for clean, quality waves. There’s a long gap of nothing until the 11th, and then even that lone standout on the 11th comes with a warning. If you’re a beginner, the 7 ft swell on the 11th is too big, and the rest is too small and messy. For the experienced crew, mark the morning of the 11th, but keep your expectations in check with that cross-shore wind.
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.
