The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Milook, but in feet and Fahrenheit for those who think that way.
Overall Pattern: The next week and a half is looking like a frustrating run. There’s plenty of swell energy coming through from the W and WNW, but the wind is going to be a constant problem, blowing onshore or cross-onshore almost the entire time. That means choppy, messy conditions that just aren't worth getting wet for. There’s finally a change at the very end of the period, with clean offshore winds showing up, but the swell is tiny by then.
Your first real chance for anything clean doesn't roll around until Thursday, September 24th. The morning looks surfable, but it’s far from epic. We’ve got a small 4ft north swell with a short 5-second period, but the wind is a clean offshore from the east at 12 mph. The wave energy is weak at 131, so it’s more about getting a slide than a barrel. The afternoon cleans up even more but the swell drops to about 2ft from the west.
The best of a bad bunch, and really the only standout, is that Thursday 24th morning session. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but after all that onshore junk, seeing that easterly offshore wind will feel like a gift. The water temp was a very unusual 65°F on the 13th, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit.
Everything else before that is a total write-off. From the 13th right through to the 23rd, it’s a constant battle of moderate to fresh onshore winds. The swell is there, with combined energy readings into the 300s and even a 693 on the 16th, meaning moderate to strong wave energy. The problem is every one of those days is marked by “poor surf conditions” due to the wind. On the 15th, we get a 5ft swell with the wind straight onshore from the WNW at 15 to 19 mph—just a messy, blown-out closeout.
From the 21st, the swell energy drops into double digits and stays very weak for the rest of the period. The 26th and 27th offer clean offshore winds, but with wave heights around 1ft to 2ft, it’s barely a ripple.
So to sum it up: sit tight for the first ten days. The surf will be big and ugly. If you’re desperate, pencil in the morning of Thursday, September 24th for a clean but small session at Milook.

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.
