The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Milook. It’s a reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s inconsistent, so it takes a good push to get it going. For the next week and a half, it’s a grim picture – poor surf conditions dominate, with hardly a window worth paddling out. The combined swell energy is weak for most of this period, and the wind is a constant problem, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
We’re looking at a solid gap here. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to the morning of Friday the 4th of September, there’s nothing worth a mention. The swell is small, the wind is wrong, and it’s all labelled poor surf. That’s a long stretch of flat and ugly.
The one real standout, the only time this place looks like it might offer something, is on the morning of Friday the 4th of September. The wind will be glassy, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, pushing a combined energy of 340 (moderate). The conditions are described as “glassy” and it’s set to be “expect good surf conditions”. This is the best on offer, but it’s for intermediate surfers – that size is fine for a reef. The crowd profile says “often”, so expect company. The swell direction (W) matches the optimum (WSW) well enough, and that glassy wind is a massive positive. It’ll be clean.
The afternoon of that same day switches to an onshore wind, so that morning window is the one to target. After that, it drops back into poor or ordinary conditions for the rest of the forecast. The morning of Monday the 7th of September sees a solid 10ft swell from the west, but it’s a cross-shore wind and “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions”. That’s a big, messy wave, and only for experts if at all, but the wind kills it.
So, to be honest, it’s a bleak outlook for Milook. There’s one morning, Friday the 4th of September, that could be a little gem if you’re keen. Get it while the wind is off.
Rusty.

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.
