The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for us here at Milook. This is a reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so we’re used to waiting for the right windows, but this forecast is a real test of patience.
We’re starting off with a long, quiet run. From Monday, the 27th of July, right through until the 7th of August, the surf is just poor. The swell is weak, a mix of short-period windswell under 3 feet mostly, and the wind is all over the shop – onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. There’s really nothing to get excited about; the combined energy is low, barely cracking 100 (152) on the Monday morning, and then it just drops away. We’re looking at a solid 12-day gap with no real recommendations.
Then, finally, we get a flicker of hope. On the morning of Saturday, the 8th of August, the swell is going to push up to 7 feet from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 540, which is strong wave energy, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE. That’s the best we’ve seen in the entire forecast. The surf is described as marginal, but with those conditions, it’s the only real standout. The swell is over 5 feet, so it’s not for the beginners, and with that period it’ll be a bit fat and straight on the beach, but for the reef at Milook, it could be lining up okay. The morning is the window. By the afternoon, the wind swings around and the whole thing gets chopped up again.
The following week is a real mixed bag. The 9th of August has some size, but the wind is howling onshore, making it lumpy. The 10th and 11th see the swell drop right back off. There’s a tiny moment on Tuesday afternoon, the 11th of August, where the wind goes glassy and the conditions are clean, but with only 3 feet of swell and a period of 6 seconds, it’s just surfable but very ordinary. So, to sum it up: one potential morning on the 8th of August is the only real opportunity, and everything else is a write-off. It’s a blank run, but for an inconsistent reef like this, that’s not entirely out of the ordinary.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts.

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.
