The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf, and the only real glimmer of hope shows up on the first of August, but even that’s a bit of a question mark. The water temp is sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort if you’re just going for a paddle.
The first real chance of anything rideable shows up on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the west, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which means proper energy and shape, but it’s also going to break a bit straight at a beach break. The combined energy reading is a solid 714 (strong wave energy) so there’s some grunt behind it. The wind is light and onshore, which isn’t ideal, but it’s light. The forecast says it’s marginal, so don’t expect perfection. This is the best of a bad bunch, but with the onshore wind, it’ll be a bit lumpy. For experienced surfers, it’s worth a look, but beginners should sit this one out.
The next morning, Sunday the 2nd, is smaller again at 4ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is a moderate 279, but the wind is a moderate onshore breeze, making it a messy prospect. After that, it’s back to the doldrums with poor surf all the way through the 8th of August. The swell drops to nothing, and the winds get messy, with some strong cross-shore breezes on the 4th that would make it more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers. There’s a decent gap of several days with absolutely nothing worth chasing.
The Tuesday afternoon of the 4th sees a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds, but it’s paired with a strong 25 mph cross-shore wind. That’s a messy, lumpy, and blown-out situation – definitely not for a surfboard.
So, to wrap it up: the only standout is that Saturday morning, the 1st of August. It’s a long way off, so don’t hold your breath, but it’s the only one worth a whisper. The rest of the time, you’re better off sorting your gear or finding a river to play in.
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.
