The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
Mate, it’s a rough 16 days ahead for Milook. The first time you’ll even see a wave worth lookin’ at is Wednesday, August 12, and it’s a sad little thing.
The swell is tiny and weak for the first week and a half, with a combined energy reading of just 44 (very weak) on Monday morning. The water is 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t fix the waves.
The only real standout is a big, long-period groundswell that hits early on Sunday, August 23. It’s a solid 8ft from the WNW, with a moderate period of 9 seconds, and the energy is pumping hard at 1203 (strong wave energy). That’s a proper swell, but there’s a catch: the wind is howling cross-onshore at 12 mph, and it’s choppy. For a reef break that’s inconsistent and exposed, this is a tricky one. The size alone makes it expert-only territory, and with the wind ruining the face, it’s not the clean, glassy dream we’d hope for. It’s a big, raw, powerful day, but it won’t be easy.
A lesser, more hopeful option is the morning of Thursday, August 20. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the west, but the wind is light offshore from the ESE, making it clean. The period is 10 seconds, so there’s a little bit of energy (72 combined energy), but it’s still small and weak. It’s a last-resort kind of session.
There’s a massive gap from August 12 right through to the 20th where the surf is just poor or non-existent. The 23rd is the only real spike, but it’s a wild, wind-affected beast. After that, it drops back to nothing.
So, if you’re a beginner, stay home. If you’re an expert, mark the 23rd as a possibility, but temper your expectations. The rest of the window is a write-off.
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.
