The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve gotta level with you – for the next 16 days, the surf scene is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so let’s just get into it.
The 16-day outlook kicks off on Saturday the 25th of July, but honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole run is a bit of a write-off. The first couple of days, Saturday and Sunday, have swell, but the wind is a mess. On Saturday morning, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft from the WNW with a short, weak 4-second period – the combined energy is a measly 17 – and it’s onshore. That’s not surfable, it's just chop. Saturday afternoon gets a little bigger at 3ft, but the wind is still onshore and the energy is only 42 – still junk. Sunday the 26th sees a jump in size to 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, both from the WNW, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. The energy is higher at 293 and 365, but the quality is terrible. No one wants to paddle out into that.
Monday the 27th is a bit smaller, 4ft and 3ft, but still onshore wind and poor conditions. Then we hit a real flat spell. From Tuesday the 28th of July right through to Sunday the 9th of August, the swell drops right off. We’re talking tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with periods all over the place. The wind is a mixed bag, with a few glassy mornings on the 28th and 29th, but with only 1ft of swell and combined energy in the teens and thirties, there’s literally nothing to ride. It’s a lake out there.
The only break on the radar is Milook, a reef break that’s inconsistent and often crowded. It’s exposed to the WSW swell, which is the direction we’d need. The water temp is 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But it doesn’t matter – the swell and wind are just not lining up. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday the 4th of August with a 4ft swell from the NNW and some clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is only 110 – moderate at best – and it’s still labeled as poor surf. It’s not worth the drive.
Overall, there’s a solid 16-day gap with no good surf recommendations. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is just a blank. Hang up the boards, clean the wax off, and wait for things to change. Forecasts can always turn around, but right now, there’s zero to chase.
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.
