The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Milook’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore wind and messy conditions that is going to test your patience.

The water’s sitting at 65°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a pretty big deal, feels more like summer hanging on. But that’s about the only easy thing here.

We start off on Thursday, the 3rd of September, and honestly, it’s a write-off. Cross-onshore winds are howling at 16 mph, and the swell is just a lumpy, weak 5 ft at a short 8 seconds. The energy reading is a lowly 238, and it feels every bit of that. Just poor.

Friday the 4th isn't much better. The swell bumps up to 7 ft, but it’s straight onshore and messy. Wave energy jumps to 563 (moderate), but with the wind howling from the W and WNW, it’s a washing machine out there.

Saturday morning the 5th gives us a little hope. The wind drops right off to a light 6 mph onshore. Swell drops to 4 ft but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. Energy is a moderate 294. It’s still not great, but it’s the first thing that’s not a total loss. Saturday afternoon is considered marginal at best.

Sunday the 6th is tiny – only 2 ft – but the wind swings to a cross-offshore from the SSE, and the energy is weak (60). The surf is clean but far too small to get excited about.

Now, Monday the 7th is a standout, but with a massive caveat. We see a pulse of big, powerful swell hitting. By morning, we’re looking at 7 ft of swell from the W with a 13-second period (groundswell). The energy reading is a massive 1430 – that’s strong stuff. This is expert territory. That size, combined with a long period, will make it dumpy and heavy. On top of that, it’s blowing onshore from the NW at 16 mph. For the experienced charger who doesn’t mind the wind, there’ll be energy, but for everyone else, it’s a pass. This set-up looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle.

The rest of the week goes downhill again. Tuesday the 8th is onshore and bumpy with 7 ft. Wednesday through Friday the 11th is just a series of poor, onshore conditions.

There is another glimmer right at the end. On Tuesday the 15th of September, we get a glassy morning with zero wind from the ESE. The swell is a modest 4 ft at 9 seconds, with an energy of 185. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and honestly, for this forecast, that’s a win. The same goes for Wednesday the 16th – another glassy morning, clean surface, 3 ft of swell at 10 seconds.

Beyond that, the last few days of the outlook (17th and 18th) look like a return to small, choppy, and windy junk.

So, what’s the call? The Monday the 7th is the biggest and most powerful swell of the period, but it’s strictly for experts who can handle 7 ft groundswell and onshore wind. The Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are your best bets for a clean, manageable session on the smaller days, especially if you want peace and quiet.

Be patient, crew. It’s a long wait for the good stuff.

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.
