The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. The full 16‑day outlook from today through the 22nd of September is a bust. Milook is the only spot in the picture – an inconsistent reef break that really needs a proper west‑southwest groundswell and clean offshore wind to show its face. That’s not happening.

Current conditions: Monday morning the 7th, we’ve got chest‑high swell at 6 ft from the west, period 13 seconds – solid groundswell, but the wind is blowing onshore from the WNW at 12 mph. Choppy, lumpy, no quality. Water temp is 66°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – anomaly is 4°F, so the water is notably warm.

Tuesday and Wednesday stay poor – onshore winds, smaller swell, cross‑on conditions. By Thursday the 10th, swell tanks to around 1 ft, barely a ripple. Friday the 11th sees a tiny bump to 5 ft but cross‑shore winds and a rain shower ruin any chance of clean lines.

After that it’s a long, slow fade. Saturday the 12th through the 22nd is a run of tiny, weak swell – mostly under 3 ft – with onshore or cross‑onshore winds. The combined energy is weak most days, often below 100. For a reef like Milook that needs a decent groundswell from the optimum direction of WSW with offshore wind to work, this is a total flat spell.

Truth is, this area can go blank for long stretches – Milook is inconsistent by nature, so two weeks without surf is nothing unusual. Don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but for now there’s nothing worth waxing up for.

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.
