The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the wave count at Milook. This is a reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and over the next 16 days, the ocean just isn’t playing ball. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, about 64°F.
We kick off on Saturday, the 18th of July, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, weak energy (15), and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. That flat spell rolls right through the week. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – all poor. The breeze is clean on Sunday morning with a light offshore, but there’s simply no swell to work with. Through to Friday the 24th, it’s all small, weak, and poor.
Now, we finally get a pulse on Saturday the 25th of July. The swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short period, windswell. The combined energy hits 270 (moderate), but here’s the catch: the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, but the quality is poor. Sunday the 26th sees it drop back to 3ft, with onshore winds again.
The next sniff of something interesting comes on Tuesday the 28th of July. The swell is 5ft from the WNW, period 7 seconds, energy at 191 (moderate). It’s a step up, but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s fairly choppy. Still not what we’d call good.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, there is no standout day. The best you can hope for is a slightly bigger, choppy wave on Saturday the 25th or Tuesday the 28th, but don’t expect any magic. This reef is inconsistent, and it’s living up to that reputation. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
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.
