The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Milook over the next couple of weeks.
I'll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid 13-day dry spell before anything looks worth a paddle. The wind is just relentless, blowing onshore or cross-onshore day after day, and it's making a mess of things. The swell that does show up is mostly short-period windswell, so it's all chop and no shape.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Saturday, August 8th. The morning shows some promise, with the wind dropping right off to a light breeze. The swell settles around 7ft from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds – that's a proper groundswell with some grunt in it. The combined energy is a solid 898, which is strong. But, here's the thing – Milook is a reef break, and a long-period swell like this can be a bit tricky. It might be a bit too straight a wave for the setup, but the light cross-shore wind (3 mph) is a massive positive, so it could clean up nicely. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded, so don't expect a deserted lineup. This is the clear standout of the whole 16-day window, but being so far out, treat it as a promising but uncertain prospect.
The afternoon on the same day sees the wind swing back onshore, so the window is small. Before that, all we get is a series of "poor surf conditions" – onshore winds, weak energy, and short periods. On August 4th, we get a pulse of 5ft swell from the W, but with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind, it's just a lumpy, blown-out mess. The same goes for the 7ft swell on the afternoon of August 5th – the energy is there (533), but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy.
Bottom line: if you're desperate, mark your calendar for the morning of August 8th, but don't hold your breath. The rest of it is a write-off.
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.
