The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Mullaway.

The next week and a half is a slow burn, with a few decent mornings hidden in there. The standout is the morning of Wednesday the 12th, but hold on, there’s a real gem late in the window. The energy overall starts weak, building to a big, messy power spike, and then settles into some proper quality.

Right now, it’s pretty ordinary. Thursday morning the 6th has tiny 2ft swell from the east with a short 8-second period and weak energy (62). The cross-off wind is okay, but it’s not worth paddling out for. Friday morning the 7th is a different story: glassy conditions, a little 2ft SSE groundswell with a 10-second period, and energy ramping up to 129. It’s small but clean, a nice dawny for the patient surfer.

Saturday the 8th morning is glassy again with 2ft east swell, but the energy is still moderate and the period is short. Sunday the 9th morning gets a bit more push with 4ft east swell and moderate energy (209), but it’s a cross-off breeze. The real first highlight pops up on Monday morning the 10th: offshore wind from the west, clean conditions, and a 4ft ENE swell with a short period. The energy is moderate (378) and it’s the first time you’ll feel some proper push.

Tuesday the 11th is a drop-off, but Wednesday morning the 12th is the one to circle. It’s glassy, near-calm, with a 4ft SSE groundswell pushing 11 seconds and energy jumping to 489. That’s a solid, clean point break morning for the advanced crew. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze.

Then things get ugly. Thursday the 13th afternoon through to Sunday the 16th, the swell pumps up big – 8ft to 12ft – but it’s a messy cross-shore wind and heavy energy readings (over 900, and up to 4393). The period is short and the wind is shredding it. This is more kite-surf territory than paddle surfing for a few days.

The real standout, the one you want to wait for, is Wednesday the 19th afternoon. After a clean morning with 4ft, the afternoon turns glassy with a 7ft ESE groundswell and a very long 12-second period. The energy is strong (1097). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – clean, powerful lines with plenty of push. The direction is right for the point, and the light wind makes it pure. Thursday the 20th morning is also a beauty: 6ft, 12 seconds, clean cross-off breeze – a close second.

So, the best on offer is Wednesday the 19th afternoon. It’s a long way off, but it’s got the size, the period, and the glassy conditions. Lock it in.

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.
