The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty again. So for Mullaway, it’s a pretty flat run over the next 16 days. Water temp is sitting at 20°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
The only real standout is way out there. Let me take you through it day by day.
This Sunday, August 30th, we’ve got a 1.3m SSE swell with a cross breeze and combined energy of 591 (moderate), but it’s marginal. Afternoon drops to 1.1m with cross-onshore wind—no good. Monday and Tuesday are tiny, under a metre, with light cross or cross-on breeze. Wednesday the 2nd of September has a clean 0.5m SSE wave with a light cross-offshore, but it’s too small. Thursday the 3rd has a clean, offshore 0.4m wave with energy down to 72—basically flat.
From Friday the 4th through the start of the next week, it’s all small and choppy. Late in that week, a few clean moments show up on Saturday the 5th with 0.5m, but still nothing to write home about.
Tuesday the 8th of September gives us a proper clean window: 1.3m from the NE with a 10 km/h offshore wind and energy of 282 (moderate). That’s a surfable point break wave.
But the real one is Friday the 11th of September. Morning sees 2.0m from the SSE, jumping to 2.2m in the afternoon, with a long period of 12-13 seconds (groundswell) and combined energy of 1400 (strong). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be clean as glass, but that’s a lot of water moving. That’s advanced territory—over 2.0m on a point break with that period will be powerful. Saturday the 12th drops to 2-1.6m with rain and cross wind, losing quality.
The rest of the second week fades into small, weak, onshore slop. Mullaway can get crowded often, so expect others if you head out on that Friday.
Bottom line: this week is a write-off. Midweek has some clean, small surf. Lock in Friday the 11th of September as the real standout—biggest swell of the window, good period, but it’s for experienced surfers only.
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.
