The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk about it in feet now.
We’re staring down a long drought. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are cooked. Onshore winds, lumpy, ugly surf. The water temp is a balmy 65.3°F, which is way warmer than normal for early September, but you won’t feel it with all that wind in your face. The swell energy is strong, hitting 509 on Friday, but it’s a total mess.
Saturday morning, 5th September, is the one. Milook turns glassy with 4ft of west swell at 10 seconds. The wind is light from the west, nearly flat calm. That’s a combined energy of 294—moderate, clean, and lined up. The swell direction is west-southwest, which is exactly what this inconsistent reef wants to see. It’s not a wave for beginners at that size, but intermediates will love the clean, glassy conditions. Crowds are often, so expect company. The afternoon goes marginal and onshore, so hit it early.
Sunday the 6th through Wednesday the 9th is either too small or too big and blown out. Monday the 7th has a 7ft west swell with a 12-second period and a massive 1249 combined energy, but it’s all onshore wind. That’s expert territory and only for the brave.
The 15th of September brings a super long-period groundswell from the west-northwest—17 seconds, 3.6ft on Tuesday morning, and 15 seconds, 3.6ft Tuesday afternoon with energy at 610. But it’s cross-shore with chop, so that long period could make the wave run straight and ugly. A marginal call for sure.
After that, it fizzles. By 18th September, we’re down to 1ft and a combined energy of just 15. A long, flat spell like this is just how it goes in this part of the world sometimes.
If you want a paddle, your only real shot is Saturday morning, 5th September. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
