The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Milook’s got cookin’.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch. For the next two weeks, the numbers just don’t line up for a proper session. We’ve got a lot of days where the energy is just meagre and the wind wants to mess things up.
Right from the start, Thursday the 30th of July into the weekend, the swell is tiny, barely pushing 1ft to 3ft. The wind is mostly cross-on or on from the northwest, so it's gonna be choppy and a real battle. The combined energy is sitting in the weak zone (33 to 61), meaning there’s not enough push to make anything worthwhile. Water temperature is 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year by about 3°, so a spring suit might be fine, but that’s about the only positive.
There's a bit of a tease on Monday morning, the 3rd of August. We see an easterly offshore wind at 6 mph and clean conditions, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft from the west with weak energy (40). It would be clean, sure, but there's just no power to ride.
We then hit a proper lull. From the 4th of August all the way through to the 8th, the swell doesn't break 2ft. The energy is incredibly weak, often dipping into the teens. You could paddle out on Sunday morning the 2nd of August when it’s glassy, with that 1ft, but it’s going to be a flat, frustrating float.
The only event that gets my attention is Sunday morning, the 9th of August. The combined swell energy finally kicks up to 214, which is moderate, with a 5ft swell from the WNW. That’s the biggest wave of the forecast, but here’s the rub: the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, and we get a moderate cross-shore wind at 13 mph. The water will be messy. It’s only for the experienced guys if it gets lumpy. After that, it fades right back into the doldrums all the way to the 14th of August.
So, what’s the verdict? There isn’t a single standout window for Milook in this 16-day run. It’s an inconsistent reef break, and this forecast shows exactly why. For paddle surfing, you’re looking at a long, quiet period with nothing on offer. Honestly, with that 5ft and strong wind on the 9th, the set-up looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep the fire burning. Forecasts change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
