The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks around Milook.
First thing to say is, this is a tough run. The bulk of the 16-day window is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor conditions from now all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 13th of September. The wind is almost always wrong, and the sea state is lumpy, choppy, or just messy. There’s a bit of size on the 4th and 7th, but the wind is straight onshore or cross-onshore, making it a real chore. Honestly, for a kite surfer, that Friday the 4th with a 6ft west swell and moderate onshore might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. Now, that’s a long way off, but it’s the only standout in the whole period. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the east at just 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 196, and for the first time in ages, the wave comment is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – which, given the stretch of zeros, we’ll take. The wind being glassy is a huge positive for clean waves. The swell is a bit short period, so it won’t have the deep-water punch, but it’ll be rideable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, the rest of the run is back to small, weak, and messy. The morning of the 17th of September shows a 5ft west swell with a 10-second period and a cross-offshore breeze, giving clean conditions. That’s another one to keep an eye on, but it’s a long way out.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate for a surf, the morning of the 13th of September at Milook is your best bet. It’s the only time the stars nearly align. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
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.
