The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Milook.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home for now.
Honestly, the outlook for the next week and a half is pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with onshore winds. From Thursday the 6th right through to Tuesday the 11th, you're looking at nothing but ankle-biters under 1ft and mostly onshore breeze. Not worth getting wet for. There’s a glimmer of glass on Tuesday morning the 11th, but even then, the swell is only 1ft, so it’s more of a flat spell with a pretty surface.
Things start to shuffle a little around Wednesday the 12th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the west, with moderate energy (153) in the morning, but it's coming with a cross-onshore wind which will chop it up. Still, that's the first sign of life.
Thursday the 13th morning looks like the best bet for the whole run. The swell holds at 4ft from the west, period at 10 seconds, and the combined energy pushes up to a solid 239. That's moderate energy but the most we'll see. The wind is light and onshore from the WNW, so it won't be perfect, but it'll be the most surfable we get. It's still only an intermediate wave at that size.
From Friday the 14th onwards, it's back into the doldrums. The swell drops off again, winds turn cross-onshore, and the whole thing just looks messy. By the 20th and 21st of August, we've got strong winds over 18 mph and tiny, weak swell. That's kite-surfing weather, not paddle-surfing weather.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Thursday the 13th of August for a bit of size and energy, but even then, keep expectations low. It's a long, dry spell otherwise.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
