Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Rusty here, checkin’ in from the Milook area. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real flat spell. There’s simply no good surf on offer anywhere in this region. The whole forecast window from Tuesday July 7 right through to Wednesday July 22 is filled with poor conditions and tiny waves. The swell just isn’t showing up, and when it does it’s weak and messy.
Milook is a reef break that’s exposed to the west-southwest, and it’s usually inconsistent – it rarely breaks properly. When it does, it can get crowded often. But right now there’s nothing to ride. The water temperature is sitting at 63°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 3°F above the long-term average, so that’s a little unusual. But with no swell, it’s just a warm bath.
The combined energy values are all under 100, mostly in the teens and forties, peaking at 104 on Friday July 10 morning – still weak. Even the best-looking morning on Friday July 10 has a tiny 3 ft west swell at 9 seconds, but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” and the score is a 1. That’s as good as it gets. Other mornings like Wednesday July 8 and Monday July 20 also have small, marginal waves, but the wind is glassy or light, so the setup is clean – just nothing to surf.
The rest of the period is all poor surf: strong offshore winds, cross-offshore breezes, or onshore winds, with wave heights never exceeding 3 ft. The swell comes mostly from the west or northwest, not the optimum WSW direction, and periods are short – under 10 seconds usually. Nothing to get excited about.
Bottom line: this is a long, dry run. Milook is a classic spot when it works, but it just ain’t working right now. Don’t bother paddling out – the only thing that might be worth a look is if you’re into kite surfing, but even then, the wind is mostly light or offshore. Better to wait for a proper groundswell from the right direction. Keep an eye on the charts – forecasts can change, and this break can fire when it gets a solid WSW swell with a long period.
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.
