The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Milook area. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first solid chance we see doesn’t come around until Friday, July 31st. Even then, it’s a marginal call. The morning shows a 8ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 737 (moderate to strong). The wind is from the east at 12 mph, giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. This is a tricky one though – that’s a decent amount of size for a reef break, pushing into expert territory, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The swell direction is west, which isn’t bang on the optimum WSW for the spot, but it’s close enough to get some lines through. The afternoon drops off to 5ft, still clean but with less punch.
The only other blip on the radar is Saturday, August 1st. The morning offers a 3ft swell from the west with a 9-second period (114 combined energy) and a light offshore from the ESE at 9 mph. That’s a clean, gentle offshore wind, which is a major positive. But with the swell so small, it’s just surfable, nothing to write home about. The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, outside of that Friday morning window, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is either tiny or messy. For the first week, from the 20th to the 30th, we are looking at a complete blank run with no recommendations. For a spot like Milook that is already inconsistent, a dry spell like this is pretty normal.
The standout here is that Friday morning, July 31st. It’s the only time the swell gets some size and the wind plays nice, but it’s a long way off and the conditions are still marginal. If you’re an expert and you’ve got the patience, it might be worth a look. Otherwise, save your energy.
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.
