The Lowdown
Alright groms, Rusty with the lowdown on Milook. Let's cut to the chase.
We’ve got a slim window of clean surf right at the start, then it’s a dusty, blown-out mess for the rest of the forecast. The only chance to wet a line is Wednesday morning, the 12th. We’re looking at a small 2ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, and the energy bank is weak at 96. The wind is a light offshore from the SE, so the surface will be glassy and clean. It’s a small wave for the reef, but it’s rideable and fun. The afternoon holds the same size but the wind turns cross-offshore from the SSW, so it’ll have a little texture.
From Thursday the 13th onward, the score drops to zero and stays there. The wind absolutely kills it for this spot. We get some sizey pulses—like a 7ft swell on the 20th with a massive 844 energy reading—but it’s all blown out by fresh cross-onshore winds. That 7ft day is lumpy, messy, and only good for the kite crew. The 6ft push on the 27th with 904 energy is the same sad story: fresh cross-onshore and lumpy.
The only real standout is that Wednesday morning, the 12th. It’s not a classic, but it’s clean and small. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need to freeze. Expect crowds there on a good day, but with conditions this marginal, you might have the place to yourself after that first window.
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.
