The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. I’ve gone through the whole 16-day forecast for Milook, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s not looking good. There’s no decent surf to speak of, so we’re in for a dry spell.
The first few days, starting Saturday the 1st, are a total dud. We’re looking at tiny waves, barely 1ft from the west, with a short, weak period. The wind is blowing cross-onshore, messing up any shape. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 65°F, which is a bit off for the time of year. The energy is a weak 52 (weak energy).
There’s a moment on Monday the 3rd morning where the wind turns glassy, but the swell is still only 2ft with an 8-second period. It’s clean, but there’s no power behind it. The energy is still low at 52.
The next bit of swell shows up around Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, with the swell climbing to 4ft from the west-northwest. The energy hits 161 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a nightmare – onshore and cross-onshore, tearing it apart. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth the effort.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak waves for the rest of the week. There’s a glassy morning on Friday the 7th, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s flat.
The second week doesn’t offer anything. The 12th of August shows a slight uptick with 2ft waves and clean conditions in the morning; the energy is 59 (weak energy). It’s a hopeful sign, but it’s still tiny. The 13th picks up a bit of energy at 138 (moderate wave energy) with 2ft swells, but the wind turns onshore.
The end of the run, around the 14th and 15th, is just ugly. Strong winds, rain, and messy, choppy surf. The energy is dropping again.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, you’re going to be disappointed. This is a reef break, but with no swell and bad wind, it’s not going to work. If you’re into kite surfing, the 14th and 15th with strong winds and some chop might be more interesting, but for the rest of us, it’s a blank run. This is pretty normal for the area, unfortunately. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
