The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here, giving the lowdown on Milook. Let’s be honest, the next week and a half is a rough stretch. This reef break can be a gem, but the wind and sea state are fighting it most of this forecast. The water temp is running about 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this period.
Starting Monday the 14th, forget it. A weak 3ft west swell with cross-onshore wind means a mess. Tuesday the 15th bumps up to about 5ft from the west, but the wind is howling straight onshore, wrecking any shape. Wave energy is moderate at 300. Wednesday the 16th keeps that west swell around 6ft, but it’s still cross-onshore, with energy climbing to 713 but the quality is poor.
That dodgy onshore wind pattern sticks around through Thursday and Friday the 17th and 18th. Swells from 4ft to 6ft from the west-northwest, but it’s choppy and lumpy. Not the kind of conditions you paddle out for.
Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are a repeat – waist-high, weak west swells with those cross-onshore winds. It’s a grind.
Now, there’s a bit of hope. On Monday the 21st, things finally glass off in the morning. The swell drops to 3ft from the west, but the wind goes glassy. Energy is weak at 119, but it’ll be clean and rideable. Tuesday the 22nd is your real standout in the first week. A 4ft west swell, light cross-offshore winds in the morning giving clean conditions (energy 255), and the report says ‘expect good surf conditions’. That’s your window.
After that, there’s a lull until Thursday the 24th. On the 24th, a tiny 2ft west swell shows up, but with offshore winds from the east-southeast and a long 18-second period, it’s clean and has some grunt. Not big, but fun. Friday the 25th builds to a 3ft west swell, clean offshore winds, and a 14-second period. Energy hits 372, and the report says ‘expect good surf conditions’. That’s another one to circle.
From Saturday the 26th through the end, it fizzles out. Swells are under 3ft, and while some days are clean, there just isn’t enough push to get excited.
Bottom line: the first week is a bust for quality waves. Your best windows are Tuesday morning the 22nd for some clean, head-high sets, and Friday the 25th for a slightly bigger, long-period, clean swell that this reef will handle well. Milook is inconsistent, so when these windows appear, be ready to jump.
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.
