The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, and honestly, for the first week and a half, there’s barely a whisper of decent surf. The combined wave energy stays under 100 (mostly in the 30s and 40s) right through until the 10th of August. That tells you the ocean is just flat and lazy. The odd little bump pops up, but it’s weak, short-period slop with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing it up. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there.
The only break on the list is Milook, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and can get crowded. Water temps are about average for the time of year, nothing crazy.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Monday the 10th of August. The wind finally swings cross-offshore, tidying things up, and we see a bit of a lift. By the Tuesday the 11th of August morning, the energy climbs to 96, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the South. Swell is a small 3 ft from the WSW with a short 8-second period – not a world-beater, but it’s the cleanest conditions we’ve seen.
Then, on Wednesday the 12th of August morning, we get the standout. The combined energy jumps to 257 (moderate energy), and the swell height hits 5 ft from the West, with an 8-second period. The wind is light and variable, so it could be glassy. That’s the best wave on offer: 5 ft from the West with light offshore or no wind, making for clean, rideable reef waves. It’s in the intermediate range, but at 5 ft, it’s not huge. Just be aware crowds are often here.
The rest of the window after that looks like it fades back into tiny, choppy junk. So, if you’re keen, pencil in the 12th of August. Everything before that is a write-off for paddle surfing.
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.
