The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough one. The surf forecast for Milook is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for the vast majority of the 16-day window. We’re talking tiny, weak waves – mostly around 1ft to 2ft – with a combined energy that barely gets into double figures, often sitting between 14 and 58 (weak energy). That’s not going to get anyone out of bed.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the very end of the period. From Saturday the 26th of July, we start to see a bit more size, but the wind is a mess. On Sunday the 26th morning, the swell picks up to 3ft from the west with a period of 8 seconds, but it’s accompanied by a fresh onshore breeze (19 mph) and the combined energy climbs to 136 (moderate). By Monday the 27th, we’ve got a proper pulse: 6ft swell from the west, period of 8 seconds, energy hitting 401 (strong). But again, it’s cross-onshore, choppy, and the wind is a solid 12-16 mph. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is a tiny window on Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning looks glassy with a 1ft west swell and a period of 10 seconds. The wind is dead calm – glassy conditions – and the wave is clean. But it’s only 1ft and the energy is 22 (weak). It’s an inconsistent reef break that rarely works, so for a true beginner, it’s not going to be worth the trip. For an expert on a longboard, maybe a fun little session if you’re desperate.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly to report.
So, summing it up: the first two weeks are a write-off. The only real pulse of size comes at the very end, but it’s blown out. The morning of the 21st July is the only clean, glassy moment, but it’s tiny. If you’re a surfer, you’re probably better off waiting for the next forecast.

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.
