The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks at Milook. Gotta be straight with ya – it’s a pretty lean run. The models are showin’ very little love for this stretch of reef.
We’re kicking off with nothing to write home about. From the 31st of July right through the first week of August, the swell is tiny and wind is mostly garbage. Friday the 31st is a write-off with a weak 2ft cross-onshore slop from the WNW. Saturday and Sunday aren't any better – Saturday has a 1.3ft swell and Sunday morning gets clean from a light ESE offshore, but the swell is only 1.3ft.
There’s a real dry spell in the middle here. From late on Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Saturday the 8th, we’re looking at basically knee-high or smaller waves. The only real highlight is that Sunday the 9th has a brief moment of interest. The afternoon shapes up with a glassy 3ft from the NNE, but with a period of just 4 seconds, it’s got no push. It’ll be pretty weak (30 combined energy).
The best bet in this whole outlook falls on Monday the 10th. The morning session is the pick of the bunch. The swell bumps up slightly to 3.6ft from the NNW, period is a short 5 seconds, but we get clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. It’s still not epic, and combined energy is only 75, which is on the weak side, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see all forecast. After that, it’s back to small, choppy junk.
Honestly, for most of this 16-day window, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially when it’s windy and messy. Keep your eyes open, but don't hold your breath. If forecasts shift, I’ll let you know.

Information about the Milook Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Milook provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Milook can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Milook 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 (Milook) 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 Milook 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.
