Milook Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Milook over the next couple of weeks.

First thing I gotta tell ya, it's looking pretty slim out there. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn't playing ball for us surfers. We've got a run starting from Wednesday the 29th of July, and frankly, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. There are no standouts, no days you'd circle on the calendar. It's a blank run, and for a spot like this, that's not totally unusual when the swell angles aren't lining up.

Looking at the water, it's about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on temperature-wise.

Right from the get-go on Wednesday morning the 29th, we've got a weak 2ft swell from the West with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 50 (weak), and with a cross-onshore breeze, it's just messy. Wednesday afternoon is more of the same, just smaller. This pattern is pretty much the story for the first week. Through Thursday the 30th, Friday the 31st, and into the first weekend of August, we're seeing tiny waves—nothing above 3ft—and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy is low, never cracking three digits, and the wave comment across every single record says "poor surf conditions." It's choppy, it's weak, and it's not worth getting wet for.

We do get a brief moment of calm on Sunday morning the 2nd of August. There's a light Easterly breeze that goes cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The problem is the swell is only 1ft from the West. It's glassy and clean, but there's just no power behind it. You'd be bobbing around on a lake.

Moving into the second week, there's a glimmer on Monday morning the 11th of August. We get a glassy morning with a 3ft swell from the WNW, but it's got a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is still only moderate at 44 (weak). It'll be clean, but the waves will be soft and fat. Tuesday the 12th of August sees that same 3ft swell but with a bit more energy hitting 86 (weak) in the afternoon, but it gets chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze. For the rest of the run out to the 13th, it's back to tiny, weak swell with poor conditions.

Honestly, for anyone who's not a dedicated frother with nothing else to do, I'd give this one a miss. There's nothing here that even gets close to being good. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is nearly always in the wrong direction. Maybe dust off the kites if you're into that, because this setup looks more interesting for pulling a kite than paddling a board.

Stay tuned, it can't stay this flat forever, but for now, that's the harsh truth.

Rusty.
