The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it.
Right out of the gate, I’m looking at a bit of a slow start for the next week or so, no point sugar-coating it. The first solid shout doesn’t even show up until the 21st of September, and even then it’s tiny. We’ve got a good eight or nine days of mostly onshore, messy conditions before things start to clean up. After that, things get interesting with a real standout window.
The first day worth paddling out is Monday the 21st of September. The swell has dropped right off to just 2ft, but the wind is glassy in the morning. It’s weak—combined energy is only 96—but those clean, glassy windows are rare enough that you’d be keen to get out on a log or a big mal.
The real highlight comes later, on Wednesday the 23rd of September. That’s the pick of the whole outlook for Milook. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft from the W, with a fantastic long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy climbs to a solid 421. The big news though is the offshore wind—ESE at 12 mph—keeping the reef line clean. It’s an exposed spot, and with that consistent W swell and offshore breeze, it’s going to be firing. Just remember, Milook is an inconsistent reef, and when it’s on, the crowds can show up often. For anyone who can handle a reef, this is your session.
After that, the surf dips again. The 27th of September (Sunday morning) offers a little promise—3ft of W swell with a very long 13-second period and glassy conditions—but the combined energy jumps to 468. That’s a sneaky good window, though it’s more than a week out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, if you’ve got the patience, the 23rd is the day to circle. The water temp is much warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 65°F, which is a solid four and a half degrees above normal—a nice little bonus.
Rusty signing off.

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.
