The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. I’ve had a look at the numbers, and the honest truth is there’s nothing on the cards that I’d call a good session. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality waves, so don’t be holding your breath.
The first real chance of anything comes on the 24th of July, but even that’s a struggle. The swell is tiny at 2 ft from the west, and while the wind goes offshore and clean, it’s blowing a strong 25 mph. That’s a real battle to get out and stay in position. The combined energy is weak at 53, so you’re not getting pushed around, just frustrated. The 25th of July morning offers a moment of calm with glassy conditions and a 2 ft west swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds, meaning weak, crumbly waves. The energy is still low at 62. It’s about as close to a surfable moment as we get, but it’s not a standout by any stretch.
Later in the window, around the 27th of July, we see a bump in size. The swell climbs to 6 ft from the west, with moderate energy levels (398-550). The wind is cross-offshore and clean, which would normally be a winner. But the problem is the break itself – Milook is a reef that’s inconsistent and exposed. For a spot that rarely breaks well, this is still a gamble. The period is a middling 8-9 seconds, so it’s not a proper groundswell that really lines up on a reef. Honestly, for a setup like this with those cross-offshore winds and that much swell, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle guys.
The water is a real talking point, though. At Milook, it’s currently 66°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be in a shorty or even boardies if you’re brave.
To sum it up: there’s no green light in this forecast. The blank run stretches from now all the way through to the end of the month. It’s a proper dry spell, so don’t waste your time. Keep the boards in the van and wait for the next system.
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.
