The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the run of surf coming our way.
Well, to be straight up, it’s a pretty grim stretch for most of the next two weeks. We’ve got a long, long gap with nothing worthwhile, especially through the first week. The whole outlook is pretty thin, so don't get your hopes up. The one standout is a little window at the very end, but it's a long way off.
We start off with nothing. From the 13th right through to the 24th, it's a write-off. Poor conditions, messy wind, mostly cross-onshore and lumpy. The swell is around, but it’s choppy and just no fun. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Now, the one bright spot is Thursday morning, the 24th. Milook (a reef break) finally gets a clean window. There's a light breeze from the south, making it cross-offshore and clean. The swell is 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. It's not massive, but the combined energy is moderate (201), and it’s the only time we get any sort of quality. This one is for the intermediate crew, but be aware, it's inconsistent and often crowded, so expect company. The swell direction isn't a perfect match for the spot's optimum, but with the clean conditions, it's the best we'll see.
After that, we drop back into nothing. The rest of the 24th and through to the 28th is more of the same: poor conditions, onshore wind, and small, weak swell.
So, overall, save your energy for the 24th morning. The rest is a write-off.
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.
