The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the situation for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a solid stretch of nearly nothing worth paddling out for. From now through the 11th of August, it’s flat and useless. Wind is either on it, or it’s just tiny dribble. You’re not missing a thing.
Things finally start to show a pulse on the morning of Wednesday the 12th. We’ve got a little bump of 3ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, pushing a combined energy of 123 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore, which should keep it clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The spot is Milook, a reef break that’s inconsistent and can get crowded. The water feels about average for the time of year. Still, it’s the first real chance, so if you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high sliders.
The swell stays small and messy through the rest of the week, with the best of a bad bunch being Thursday morning the 13th. It’s a similar 3ft from the west, but the wind is straight onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty. Not worth the drive.
We get a bit more size around the 16th and 17th, with swell pushing 4ft to 6ft, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-onshore and onshore. The period drops to 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be choppy and weak. The wave energy on the 17th morning hits 303 (strong), but with the wind blowing on it, it’s a messy, blown-out affair. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at this point.
The real standout, and the only one I’d circle on the calendar, is the morning of Friday the 21st of August. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 7 seconds, pushing a combined energy of 483 (strong). That’s some serious juice. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, which is lumpy and cross-chop. It’s going to be a beast, but it’s strictly for experts – that size is too big for beginners. The short period means it’ll be a bit of a washing machine. It’s a long-range call, so less certain, but if it comes together, Milook could be cooking.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat gap until the 12th, then a few days of small, mediocre waves, and then a big, powerful, but messy swell on the 21st. Not the best run, but forecasts can change.
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.
