The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at Milook, and the honest truth is, there’s nothing on the cards that’s calling for a board. The whole window is a flat spell with poor conditions, so we’re in for a long stretch of quiet water.

The forecast kicks off Saturday morning, August 1st, with a tiny 1ft W swell. The wind is a cross-on from the NNW at 9 mph, making it a choppy mess. The combined energy is weak (52). It’s just not surfable. This flat, poor pattern hangs around for days. Through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the swell stays below 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-onshore – never playing ball. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 65°, but that’s about the only noteworthy thing.

We do see a slight bump mid-week. On Wednesday morning, August 5th, the swell picks up to 4ft from the WSW, but with a short period of 7 seconds and a strong onshore wind at 16 mph, it’s just a messy, blown-out 4ft. The energy jumps to moderate (146), but the quality is poor. That’s the story for the rest of the first week and into the second – a few pulses of waist-high, onshore slop, but nothing clean.

The closest we get to a window is on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning is glassy with a light SE breeze, swinging offshore, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the west with a 6-second period. It’s flat, just glassy. The energy is a weak 40. Later that day, the wind shifts and it’s gone.

The best of a bad bunch might be Sunday morning, August 16th. We get a 4ft WNW swell with a *cross-offshore* wind from the ENE at 12 mph, which will keep it clean. The energy is moderate (141). But the period is only 6 seconds, so it’ll be a short-period, weak wave. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days we see that clean label, but it’s still a poor surf call overall.

So, there you have it. No standouts, no hidden gems. The swell just isn’t there, and the wind is constantly ruining what little bumps we get. For a reef break that’s already inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run. Don’t bother waxing up for now. Keep an eye on the charts, but this one’s a write-off.

Rusty.

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.
