The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch, and we’ve got a long gap of nothing worthwhile right at the start. The first surf worth mentioning isn’t until Monday the 3rd of August, so we’re looking at a few days of flat or junk to get through before that.
The water temperature is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65°F.
Alright, Monday the 3rd of August is the first real glimmer. Milook’s a reef setup, exposed to the WSW, and it’s normally an inconsistent sort of spot. On the Monday morning, we’ve got a tiny bit of swell, just 2ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (60). The big plus here is that the wind is glassy – dead calm – so the surface will be clean and smooth. It’s not going to be big or powerful, but for a little knee-high wave on a glassy morning, it’s about as good as it gets in this quiet spell. Expect crowds here often, so you might have company for those small, clean lines.
After that, it’s pretty grim all the way through the rest of the first week and into the second. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell stays small and weak. The energy values are all in the double digits, mostly well under 100, so it’s just not doing much.
There’s a slight tease on Monday the 10th of August with a clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 1ft to 2ft with a very short period, so it’s barely breaking.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning sees a glassy calm, with a 2ft swell from the west, period of 10 seconds, and combined energy of 51. It’s still weak, but it’s clean. For a summer glass-off, you might get a few fun little ones at Milook. Again, crowds are likely.
Beyond that, the wind picks up and the swell stays small and messy. The 14th of August sees a slightly bigger 3ft swell, but it’s got a short period of 7 seconds and the wind is up to 19 mph, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
So, overall, it’s a long, quiet period. The best bet is to keep an eye on Monday the 3rd of August and Tuesday the 11th of August for those glassy windows. Otherwise, it’s a case of waiting for the next proper pulse.

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.
