The Lowdown
Right then. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for the 16-day window.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch for Milook. The whole period is a long, flat spell with barely a pulse. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until the 25th of July, and even then it’s nothing to get excited about. That’s a solid ten-day gap right at the start with zero surf worth paddling out for.
The only time the ocean even tries to wake up is on the 25th of July. Saturday morning you’ll see a summary swell of 4ft coming out of the NNW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 121, which is moderate. It’s not big, but it’s the biggest of the whole run. The wind is cross-on from the NW, so it’ll be a bit choppy, but it’s still the best you’re gonna get. Saturday afternoon sees the same 4ft swell, but more onshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph, and the energy bumps up to 173, still moderate. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so any surf here is a rare treat. Still, with the swell matching the optimum direction from the WSW, and the size being just over 4ft, it’s a small window for intermediate surfers.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions with rain showers and strong winds, and the swell drops right off again. The 28th has a pulse of 1ft with a long period groundswell of 11 seconds from the W, but it’s onshore, so it’s a write-off.
If you’re desperate, the 25th is your only chance. Otherwise, this is a proper blank run. It’s a tough time for paddle surfing at Milook, and the setup with those onshore winds might honestly be more interesting for kite surfing than a surfboard.

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.
