The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Milook over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty bleak for any decent paddle-surfing. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any energy on offer. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until the very end of the month, and even then, it’s a long shot.
The water temp’s about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°.
From Tuesday the 21st right through the rest of July, it’s mostly flat with tiny waves. A few pulses of swell show up, like on Sunday the 26th morning when the combined energy hits 132 (moderate), but the swell is only 4ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the NNW. It’s just messy and weak. You’ll see a bit of energy again on Monday the 27th morning with a 3ft WNW swell at 8 seconds and a combined energy of 154 (moderate), but the wind is light cross-shore from the NNE, which is okay, but the swell’s just too small and weak to get excited about.
Then we hit a real flat patch. The first week of August is more of the same – tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2ft, and almost always with a cross-onshore wind. The best looking day in the whole 16-day window is a bit of a tease. On Tuesday the 28th of July morning, we get a glassy 1ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The water will be glassy, dead calm, but the wave height is just a knee-high ripple. It’s not really surfable.
Saturday the 1st of August morning sees a 4ft swell from the west at 6 seconds, with a combined energy of 100 (moderate), but it’s cross-on from the NNW and just looks like a choppy, weak mess. For a reef break like Milook that’s inconsistent and often crowded, this is a no-go.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no real swell, and the wind is either too light or onshore. If you’re desperate for a dip, maybe the glassy morning on the 28th of July is your only chance for a few tiny, clean waves, but don’t expect much. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not totally unusual.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change.
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.
