The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s run through the Milook outlook for the next couple of weeks in feet and Fahrenheit.
First thing: a long, dry spell. The start of the forecast right through nearly all of July is weak—tiny swell, short period, and mostly cross-onshore to onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about. That’s close to nine days of poor conditions.
Finally, around Saturday the 1st of August there’s a bit of size—waves around 5 ft with moderate energy—but it stays messy with onshore to cross-onshore wind. Not the day.
Now Sunday the 2nd of August. That’s the one.
Milook (Reef) on Sunday morning picks up a west-southwest swell around 4 ft, period about 7 seconds. Not the longest lines, but the wind turns light and cross-offshore from the south at 6 mph. That’ll clean it right up. Combined energy sits at 203 (moderate). It’s a little inconsistent, so patience will pay, but this is the only session worth the drive. Water temp is about 63°F—a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Sunday afternoon climbs to around 6 ft but the wind picks up—still cross-off, but stronger. Might work for experienced surfers, but the morning window is cleaner.
After that, Monday the 3rd goes back to messy. Onshore wind returns and the quality drops.
Only other bright spot: Wednesday morning the 5th of August. Glassy winds, but the swell is around 2 ft with a long 10-second period. Just 94 combined energy, so small and weak, but clean. If you’re jonesing for a small-wave session, you could make it work.
So that’s it. Sunday August 2nd morning is the best bet. The rest is mostly flat or blown.
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.
