The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Milook over the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up just about every bump that rolls in. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°F which is a little treat for the skin, but the waves themselves are a different story.

The pattern starts on Wednesday the 22nd of July with a weak 3ft swell from the NNW, but it’s getting hammered by a moderate cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and uninviting. The combined energy is weak at just 40. Thursday the 23rd offers a brief moment of calm in the morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft swell, but it’s still a poor surf call – just not enough size or power to get excited about. The energy is a meagre 37. The wind swings back onshore in the afternoon, and the rest of the week is a write-off.

Friday the 24th stays tiny and messy, with a 1ft swell and more cross-onshore wind. The weekend is no better, with Saturday the 25th seeing onshore winds up to 16 mph and a weak 3ft wave. The energy is only 45. Sunday the 26th sees a bump in size to 5ft, and the combined energy finally climbs to 245 (moderate), but it’s accompanied by a moderate cross-onshore wind and a short period of 7 seconds. That’s a messy, lumpy day, not a clean one. The whole of the following week continues in the same vein: small, onshore, and choppy. There’s a brief moment of glassy calm on the morning of the 1st of August, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft with barely any energy (9). It’s effectively a flat spell.

The best of a bad bunch actually comes right at the tail end. On Wednesday the 6th of August, we see a 4ft to 4ft swell from the W with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 152 (moderate). The catch? The wind is howling from the WSW at 16 mph, cross-onshore, making it choppy. For all that size, the quality is just not there. Honestly, for this whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that stands out as a true wave to chase. The setup is more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing, given the persistent wind and poor quality. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s a pretty normal thing to see. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long wait.

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.
