Table - best surf conditions forecast for Milook over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me be straight with you. Right now, the surf outlook for our region is a bit of a struggle. Over the next 16 days, the waves are mostly tiny and the conditions are often messy. We've got a long gap with no real recommendations until Friday morning, July 10th, so don't expect much before that.
Now, for the first real window of opportunity. Friday morning, July 10th, at Milook we’ve got some waist-high waves rolling in. Swell is 3 ft from the west with a short period of 9 seconds, so not a lot of punch, but the combined energy is moderate at (106). The real winner here is the wind – it's light offshore from the east, glassy clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It's a reef setup, so keep your wits about you. Crowds are likely here though, so get there early if you want a peak to yourself.
After that, Saturday morning, July 11th, also has a brief chance with 2 ft swell and clean conditions from a cross-offshore wind, but it's pretty weak with energy at (60). Then it all fades again. From Sunday onward, the swell drops right off. We're looking at knee-high slop or smaller for days on end, with periods down around 6 to 8 seconds. The wind keeps swinging around, mostly onshore or cross-on, making it messy. There's a brief flicker of life on Thursday, July 23rd, with a 3 ft swell from the WSW, but it's coupled with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph, making it lumpy and not worth paddling out for. Later that afternoon, the swell jumps to 7 ft with huge energy (617), but the wind is a strong cross-onshore at 25 mph, creating a messy, choppy mess. That kind of setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
So, to sum it up: your one and only real shot this period is Friday morning, July 10th at Milook. Get it while it's clean. After that, the forecast is bleak until the very end, and even then, the wind spoils it.

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.
