Milook Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a real flat spell for the most part, with a tiny bit of life trying to show up way down the line. The first recommendation doesn't show up until July 13th, and it is a rough start. The whole first week and a half is basically a write-off for any proper wave riding. We’re talking days of nothing but ankle-sloshers. It’s a long gap, nearly two weeks of poor surf, before we see anything worth getting wet for.

The only real standout in this whole outlook is a late arrival on the Saturday of the second week, July 25th. The afternoon brings a bit of a pulse, with a 4.3ft swell from the west. The combined energy bumps up to 426, which is a solid kick of moderate energy for this spot. The wind is a cross-onshore, so it's not going to be perfect, but it's the biggest bump we see. The following morning, July 26th, still holds some size at 3.9ft from the west, with energy at 257, but again, a cross-onshore breeze. Between that and the 25th, that’s your best bet. It’s still not a perfect setup, but it’s something.

We’re looking at Milook, a reef break that’s exposed to the swell. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t bank on a perfect session. The water temperature on the first day of surf is a notable 66°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so the spring suit might be a bit much.

For the rest of the run, from July 13th right through to the 25th, the swell is tiny, mostly below 1.6ft, and the wind is all over the place. There are a few glassy moments, like the morning of July 17th and 18th, but with a 2ft and 1ft swell of short period, there’s just no energy to surf. It’s more of a swimming condition.

So, there you have it. A long wait for a very average, late-arriving bump. Keep your eyes on the 25th, but don’t hold your breath.
