The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, the opening stretch is pretty grim. We're looking at a long flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for until we get into the second week of September. The water's sitting at a notable 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be comfortable while you're sitting there waiting for a wave that never comes.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday the 7th of September. Milook is a reef setup, and it's an exposed spot that loves a good WSW swell. We've got a 10ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and the combined energy is pumping at a solid 1604 (strong wave energy). This is a big lump of water, over 8ft, so it's strictly for the experts. The wind is light from the WNW at 6 mph and offshore, which will keep things clean. The period is 9 seconds, so it's not a super-long groundswell, which is fine here. This is a standout session for the crew who can handle some size.
The following day, Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon, things clean up even more. The swell drops to a more manageable 4ft from the W, but the period stretches out to 11 seconds, bringing in some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is still healthy at 513 (moderate wave energy). The wind goes light from the S at 9 mph and cross-offshore, making for some genuinely clean conditions. This will be the best of the lot for the intermediate crew looking for some fun, lined-up waves on the reef. Just keep an eye out, as crowds are likely here.
The rest of that week and into the next is pretty mixed, with onshore winds and messy conditions taking over. A few windows in the second week show some promise but with the wind state changing, it's one to watch.
So, to wrap it up: hold tight through this dead spell. The real action kicks off on the 7th of September for the big-wave chargers, and the 8th of September afternoon is the pick of the bunch for the rest of us.

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.
