The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half looks pretty grim for a paddle. We’re stuck in a pattern of small, weak swell and onshore winds that’s gonna keep the surf tiny and messy. There’s a potential light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s a long way off, so let’s get into it.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little bit of a bonus.

Right now, and for the bulk of the next week, Milook is a no-go. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with a short-period windswell from the NNW. The wind is cross-onshore from the NNW or NW, making for choppy, bumpy conditions. The combined swell energy is barely registering, with readings like 22 (weak energy) on Thursday the 23rd. It’s just poor surf, day after day.

We do see a bit of a pulse on Sunday, July 26th, with the swell bumping up to 5ft from the WNW and the energy getting into the moderate range (220-233), but the wind is still howling onshore from the NW at 18 mph, ruining any chance of a clean wave. That trend continues into the start of the next week with a little more size but still onshore winds.

Now, the real point of interest – and it’s a long way out – is the start of August. The first two days of the month show some real promise. On Saturday, August 1st, we’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the west early, with a 10-second period, and – crucially – a light cross-offshore wind from the south at 9 mph. The combined energy is strong, hitting 876. That’s a proper groundswell, and the wind is clean. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, 8ft, but the wind turns cross-shore, so it’ll be a little more crumbly. At 8ft, this is firmly in the “experts only” territory.

Then Sunday, August 2nd, morning looks good too. A 6ft west swell, 10-second period, with a light cross-offshore wind from the south. The energy is still strong (529). Again, clean conditions. The afternoon on Sunday gets messy again with onshore winds, so the window is tight.

The standout is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. That’s your best bet. A solid 7ft west swell, combined with clean, cross-offshore winds from the south. It’s a reef break, so it should handle the size well, and the west swell direction is right in the sweet spot for the optimum from the WSW. The water is a touch warmer than normal, and the long 10-second period will give you proper, powerful lines. Just be aware, it’s a while away, so forecasts can shift, but that’s the one to keep an eye on.

For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a waiting game. There’s a big gap of poor surf from now until that first Saturday in August, so don’t bother paddling out until then. Keep the wax warm.

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.
