The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the surf ahead for the Milook area. I’m not going to sugarcoat it – this is a lean 16-day period. There’s a lot of waiting, and not a lot of riding.
The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly, a proper warm patch.
The first week is basically a bust. We’ve got a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind, and the swell is messy and inconsistent. You’ll be staring at a lot of lumpy, choppy water.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel comes on Saturday the 12th of September. It’s a long way off, so take it with a grain of salt, but the morning shows a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. The swell is small, about 2ft from the west, but the period is a solid 11 seconds, which is real groundswell. The wave energy is low (148), so it’s not going to be powerful, but for an inconsistent reef like Milook, clean conditions are everything. The wind will be light, so it could be glassy. The next morning, Sunday the 13th, also looks clean with the same offshore wind, but it’s even smaller, around 2ft.
So, there you have it. A long, quiet run with a couple of potentially clean, tiny sessions right at the end. The swell direction is in the right zone, but the wind just hasn’t played ball. It’s a dry spell, plain and simple. The 12th is your best bet, but keep your expectations in check. The forecasts can change, but right now, patience is the name of the game.

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.
