The Lowdown

Alright, let’s cut to it. The next couple of weeks at Milook are looking pretty bleak. There’s a long stretch of tiny, messy surf and rubbish wind. It’s a tough run for a spot that’s usually open to the ocean, but for now, the sea’s just not giving us anything.

We start off on Thursday, 6th of August, with a weak 3ft swell from the west, but it’s a short-period 6-second windswell, and the combined wave energy is a measly 91. Winds are onshore from the NW at 12 mph, so it’s choppy, messy, and not worth a paddle. That poor surf carries right through the weekend and into the start of the next week. Friday drops to 1.0ft, and by Saturday and Sunday we’re scraping by with 0.7ft waves. The wind does go glassy on Saturday morning, but there’s nothing to ride.

The whole first week, from the 6th right through to the 11th, is a washout. It’s gap after gap of poor conditions, with swell heights barely hitting 1ft at best. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and the energy readings are stuck in the teens and twenties. Honestly, it’s a desert.

We finally get a little pulse around Wednesday, 12th of August. The swell lifts to 3ft from the west, period stretches to 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 118 (moderate). But the wind is still cross-onshore from the WSW, so it’s bumpy and not inviting. Not the kind of day that gets you stoked.

The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Thursday morning, 13th of August. It’s not a big swell—3ft from the west, 10-second period, 154 energy (moderate)—but the wind goes glassy, with a light SW breeze at just 3 mph. That’s the cleanest we’ll see in the whole 16-day window. The break is glassy, and the waves are surfable, but they’re very ordinary. Still, for a die-hard, this is the best on offer. It’s a reef break, so the longer-period groundswell should wrap in nicely, but with only 3ft, don’t expect pits. Crowds are “often” here, but with conditions this average, you’ll probably have it to yourself.

After that, it’s back to the same sad story. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th see onshore winds and bumpy, poor surf. Sunday the 16th afternoon offers a brief moment of clean cross-off wind from the south at 6 mph, with 3ft waves and 96 energy, but it’s still just surfable, not exciting.

The second week, from the 17th onward, stays weak. Monday the 17th morning has a 4ft swell from the NNW, but it’s a dire 6-second period with 158 energy, and the wind is onshore. It’s fat, weak, and sloppy. Tuesday drops back to 2ft. Wednesday and Thursday bring more onshore winds and chop. The last chance we see is Friday, 21st of August, with 3ft from the west and 111 energy, but it’s onshore again at 12 mph.

So in short: if you’re desperate, slide into the water on Thursday morning, 13th of August, when it’s glassy. The rest of the window is a bust. Don’t even bother with the other days—it’s kite-surfing weather, not surfing weather.

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.
