The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the surf for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, guys, so don’t get your hopes up for the first few days. We’ve got some waves, but it’s going to be a mess for a while.
We’re looking at a pretty groggy start. Wednesday and Thursday are going to be a write-off – we’ve got onshore winds and some decent but junky swell, maybe pushing 1.5m to 1.9m, but it’s going to be lumpy and blown out. The wave energy is moderate, with combined energy readings in the 400-700 range, but it won’t matter when it’s all chop. You’re not missing anything.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 20th. The wind is going to swing light and offshore (glass) early, and we’ll see some clean, small waves, around 1.2m. It’s not big, but it’s the first clean surf we’ll have seen in days.
But honestly, the standout window is shaping up to be next Wednesday, the 23rd. I’m seeing strong southeast winds blowing offshore. That’s the dream, right there. That morning, we’re looking at a clean 1.2m of pure groundswell with a long 14-second period. The energy jumps up too. That is going to be some proper, clean, lined-up surf. Mark it in the books.
Before that, though, there’s a bit of a gap. The 24th to the 26th look small and weak, mostly under a metre.
Then there’s another possible standout. After that, the 30th of September is looking like our second real pick. The winds are looking offshore early, and we should have a solid 2.0m of swell. It’ll be a bit more powerful, but that northeast wind should keep it clean. The water might be a touch cooler than usual, but nothing crazy.
After that, we're done. The first of October just drops off the map.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a mess. Clean up on Sunday the 20th, but the real jewels are Wednesday the 23rd and Tuesday the 30th. The 23rd is the one I’d be most excited about. The 30th is also going to be worth a paddle out, but it's a little further out in the forecast, so keep an eye on it.
Stay stoked.
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.
