The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special. Milook (reef) is the only wave in the game, and honestly, it’s a lean run. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Wednesday, the 12th of August, and even then it’s marginal. Before that, we’ve got a few days of flat, gutless conditions starting from Sunday the 9th with tiny 0.7ft swell and water that’s a touch warmer than normal at 65°, running into Monday and Tuesday with hardly any energy to speak of.

Wednesday morning, 12th August, is the first time you might want to paddle out. We’ve got a 2ft W swell pushing in with a 10-second period, and the wind is offshore from the ESE. That’s clean, and combined wave energy is sitting at 94 (weak to moderate). It’s a tiny little window, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far. Milook is an inconsistent reef break that only works on the right swell, and this is barely that, but if you’re desperate, that morning is your shot.

Thursday the 13th picks up a bit with 3ft from the W, 11-second period, and combined energy hits 189 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNW. That’s messy. Friday and Saturday look similar with small swell and onshore or cross winds, so no real improvement. The water temp anomaly is only given for that first Sunday, but it’s a bit warmer than usual for August.

There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendation until we hit the second week. Around Friday the 21st into Saturday the 22nd, we see a small bump in swell, 4ft from the NNW on Friday afternoon, but that’s with a short 6-second period and a moderate cross-onshore, so expect choppy, weak conditions. Combined energy is 124 (moderate) but the quality is poor. Saturday morning the 22nd offers 3ft N’ly swell with a clean, cross-off wind from SSE, but again, only 5-second period – that’s just windswell slop. The whole run is poor; the break is inconsistent and rarely delivers at these sizes, and the wind isn’t cooperating at all.

If you’re a kite surfer, those afternoons with 4ft and 15 mph cross-on winds might look interesting, but for paddling, this is a blank period. It’s not unusual for the area to have long spells without decent waves, so don’t hold your breath.

Rusty out.

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.
