The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break this one down.
Truth is, the next 16 days at Milook are looking like a real struggle. There's no surf worth mentioning until the end of the first week of August. The first wave that's even rideable doesn't show up until Sunday the 9th, and even then, it's a sorry-looking affair. It's a stretch of flat and poor conditions, with only a few fleeting moments that might get you wet.
Water temp is pretty normal for the time of year, so that's no issue. The big problem is the swell just doesn't have any energy or period behind it. The combined swell energy rarely breaks 100, the only exception being around Wednesday the 5th, but that comes with heavy onshore wind.
For the first real chance, look to Sunday, August 9th. We get a tiny, weak pulse. It's a 3ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind will be light cross-onshore from the WSW, so it won't be completely blown out, but it will be bumpy. The combined energy is a pathetic 68. It's small and weak, but it's probably the cleanest thing you'll see all week.
If you're dead-set on getting out, Monday morning, August 3rd might be your only shot for a total beginner. The wind is glassy, flat calm. But the swell is barely 2ft from the west, with a weak 9-second period. The combined energy is 56. You'll get some knee-high slop if you time the tide right, but don't expect any push.
The swell tries to bump up around Wednesday, August 5th, with a 5ft swell from the west, but the period is a short, terrible 6-7 seconds, and you've got strong 15-16 mph winds blowing right onshore. That's pure wind-chop. The combined energy is 159, which just means it's messy and powerful, not good. That's for experts only, and even they won't enjoy it. For the rest of us, that might as well be a kite-surfing day.
The rest of the 16 days is a slow, sad fade back to tiny, weak surf. No standouts, no hidden gems. If you're in the area, you're better off waiting for the next weather system.
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.
