The Lowdown
Listen up, crew. Rusty here, and I've got the long-range outlook for Milook. It's a grim one, so brace yourselves. The first sixteen days are looking dead flat, with a huge gap of nothing worth paddling out for. This blank run starts now and stretches all the way to the end of the forecast. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the season, at 65°, but that's the only interesting thing going on.
Let's break down the bad news. Tuesday, August 4th, we've got a measly 3ft of WSW swell, but it's choppy with a cross-shore breeze. The combined wave energy is a weak 78. A total waste. Wednesday, the 5th, the swell bumps up to 6ft from the W, but the onshore wind is blowing a solid 19 mph, and the energy hits 338, but it's all just blown-out junk. Thursday, the 6th, drops to 4ft, energy at 108, still onshore. Forget it.
The weekend is a washout. Friday, the 7th, is a sad 1ft. Saturday, the 8th, is the closest we get to anything promising, but it's a flat 0.7ft with glassy conditions. You could float around, but you won't catch a thing. The energy is down to single digits. Sunday, the 9th, nudges up to 3ft, but it's messy.
The entire second week is more of the same. We get a few clean offshore windows on Tuesday, August 11th, and Wednesday, August 12th, but with only 0.7ft to 2ft of swell, the energy is barely a whisper at 35. The swell period stretches to 11 seconds on Wednesday the 12th, hinting at a long-period groundswell, but it's so small it doesn't matter. Classic clean conditions with an empty ocean.
The final week is all about wind and no waves. Thursday, August 13th, has a 3ft swell with moderate energy of 136, but it's onshore. Friday the 14th brings a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore breeze. By Monday, August 17th, the wind is howling at 25 mph, making the reef break look more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There is no standout. There is no best on offer. This is a time to hang the boards up, check the wax, and wait for a better forecast. The next two weeks are a total bust.
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.
