The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, switching over to the old-school numbers. Let’s break down what’s on offer for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the next week and a half. From right now all the way through to the morning of Sunday, August 9th, there’s just nothing worth getting wet for. The winds are mostly onshore, the swell is weak and messy, and it’s a real stretch of flat, poor conditions. A real test of patience.
The only real beacon of hope, and I mean the only one, lands on the morning of Sunday, August 9th, at Milook. This is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t fire often, but when it does... This morning session is our standout. We’re looking at a head-high-plus swell of about 6ft from the WNW, and the wind is completely glassy – dead calm. That’s a gold-plated ticket for this exposed spot. The water sits at 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a nice bonus. The combined swell energy is moderate at 288.
Now, it’s a reef, and with a 6ft swell, it’s going to be too much for the beginners. For the rest of you, this is the one to plan for. The wind is perfect, the swell is solid, and the quality is the best we’ll see. Later that afternoon, the swell jumps to about 7ft, but it gets a little tricky with the tide and a light onshore breeze, so the morning session is your clear winner.
After that, it’s back to the poor stuff through the rest of August 10th. So, mark your calendar: Sunday morning, August 9th. That’s your window.
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.
