The Lowdown
Right then, let’s get into it. To be honest, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for the Milook area. It’s a real flat spell, and there’s nothing on offer that’s actually worth paddling out for. The first few days, from Wednesday the 29th of July through to the end of the first week of August, we’ve got tiny, weak swell, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, which just trashes what little wave there is. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 18°, which is something, but it’s a small comfort when you’re bobbing around on ankle-biters.
The only day that even looks like it might be half-decent is Sunday the 2nd of August, when we get a light, offshore breeze from the east in the morning. The swell is still tiny, only 1 ft from the west with a weak 8-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 25. It’s clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. It’s more of a longboard or a floaty day, if you’re desperate.
The rest of the first week is a mix of light cross-onshore breezes and choppy, messy conditions. There’s a bit of a nod from the north on the 4th of August, but it’s very short-period and the wind is all over the shop. The swell stays tiny, and the combined energy values are all below 50, which is just weak.
Into the second week, from the 10th of August onwards, it doesn’t get much better. The wind picks up, with fresh cross-onshore breezes kicking in, and the swell barely registers. The 13th of August sees some rain and a fresh breeze, but the swell is still only 1 ft. It’s not a time to be looking for waves. The whole run is a blank, and in this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to report.

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.
