The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next little while.
To be straight with you, the forecast is looking pretty grim for a long stretch. We’re looking at a whole lot of tiny, weak, or messy conditions for the first week and a half at Milook. The swell is just not there, and when it does show up, the wind is all over the shop. We’ve got a solid run of “poor surf conditions” from now until the middle of the month. It’s a real bummer.
The first real sign of life doesn’t pop up until Sunday, the 16th of August. That’s a solid week and a half of waiting. But, when it comes, it comes with a bit of punch. The morning of the 16th is looking like the standout. We’ve got a 7ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and the combined energy is a solid 438 (moderate wave energy). What’s really got me excited is the wind: glassy, from the ESE. That means clean, clean waves. The only downside is this spot is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. The water temp is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65°.
Then, Monday the 17th of August morning is another strong option. Swell drops a touch to 6ft from the NW, with a combined energy of 352 (still moderate). The wind is glassy again, this time from the ESE. That’s a dream scenario for a reef break. The swell is a bit on the bigger side, so this is one for the intermediates and above, not for the beginners. Keep in mind the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s a wind swell, not a groundswell, but the clean conditions will make it fun.
The rest of the second week after that? It fades away again. The 18th of August drops back to tiny, unremarkable waves.
So, here’s the summary: if you’ve got the patience, the mornings of the 16th and 17th of August are your best bets. Pick the 16th for the biggest swell, or the 17th for the slightly smaller but still punchy, glassy conditions. The 16th is the top pick.
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.
