Table - best surf conditions forecast for Milook over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into this one. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for Milook. We've got a long, long stretch of nothing but tiny, wind-chopped slop or full-on onshore junk. The entire first week and more is basically a write-off, so don't even bother checking the cam.
Now, I see a flicker of something on the horizon. The only real chance of a wave comes in the second week. The standout, and I mean the only game in town, looks to be Monday the 27th of July. Milook is a reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it's gonna get a punch from the west. The swell direction is WSW, which isn't a perfect match for the optimum, but it'll do. We're looking at a solid 8.2ft of west swell with a long period of 10 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, with the combined energy coming in at a hefty 1170. This is expert-only territory though; that size at a reef with onshore wind is no joke. The wind is forecast to be onshore from the WNW, so conditions won't be glassy. The morning shows a light breeze, which is the better window, but it's still on it. Expect a bit of a bumpy face, but for a wave-starved stretch, this is the only pulse with any real grunt. The set-up means it'll be breaking a bit straight on the beach sections, but the reef structure should hold some shape.
The afternoon of the 27th sees similar size, around 7.9ft, still from the west, but the wind picks up and stays onshore, giving it a 'marginal' feel. Still, if you're a competent charger, that Monday morning is your shot.
Before that, the morning of the 26th of July shows a modest run of 3.6ft swell from the WSW with combined energy at 147, but the onshore wind from the WNW will just mess it up. Don't be tempted; it'll be lumpy and weak. The rest of the window is flat or close to it. A few tiny 1ft days with cross-offshore breeze look clean, but you’ll struggle to get wet.
Bottom line: a big gap of nothing, then one solid, expert-only day. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a tough run.

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.
