The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. We’ve only got one spot on the radar for this stretch, and it’s a bit of a slow burn, so let’s get into it.
We’re looking at Mullaway, and to be honest, the first week is a tough one. The surf is small and pretty ordinary, with a lot of cross and onshore winds messing with the shape. There’s a few days of proper waiting involved. The first real pulse of energy worth talking about shows up on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. That morning is looking like a standout for the whole run. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, no surprises there.
So, for that Sunday morning, August 2nd, Mullaway is the call. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and the swell is a clean 3 ft from the SE with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a strong 624. This is a point break, so that long-period swell will wrap in beautifully, and with the glassy conditions, it’s going to be smooth and clean. It’s rated for advanced surfers, so it’s not a learner’s wave, and crowds are often around, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
The morning of Monday, August 10th, is another one to look at, but it’s a bit further out, so keep an eye on it. The swell is 5 ft from the east with a 10-second period, the wind is glassy again, and the combined energy is a solid 526. It’s not the screaming barrel of the 2nd, but it’s a promising window for some clean, lined-up waves.
After that, things get a bit messy again with onshore winds. The second week has pulses of bigger swell, but the wind is strong and cross-shore, making it lumpy. The 8 ft days on the 6th of August are too big for the average punter, and the wind is just too strong for a clean paddle. Honestly, for the bulk of the second week, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a pure surfing one, with all that wind and size.
The real takeaway here is that Sunday, August 2nd, is your best bet. And if you’re patient, maybe that Monday, August 10th, morning shapes up nicely. For now, that’s the story.
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.

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.
