The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Milook. Honestly, the next week or so is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a real mix of onshore winds and westerly windswell hammering the place, making for some pretty ordinary surf conditions. There’s a lot of poor surf quality with fresh breezes and cross-onshore chop, especially through the middle of this week. The combined swell energy is moderate, hitting values like 669 on Wednesday, before settling down, but the wind just isn’t your friend. Don’t even bother until next week.
Then things get interesting. The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Wednesday, September 23rd. That morning, Milook is going to turn it on. We’ve got glassy conditions – dead calm with a slight air – and a long period groundswell from the WNW with a period of 14 seconds. The swell height is around 3 ft, but that kind of period means proper, powerful lines. It’s a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, so it’ll handle that well. The combined energy from that morning is a solid 544 – moderate energy, but the quality will be high. Expect very good surf conditions, but remember, it’s an inconsistent spot that can get crowded, so get in early.
Following that, Thursday, September 24th morning also looks tidy with glassy conditions and a 3 ft, 12-second swell, giving a clean, workable wave.
By Friday, September 25th, we get another nice run. Morning has a light cross-offshore breeze with clean surf and a 3.6 ft swell from the west with a 13-second period. The afternoon goes glassy again, same size and period, with 383 combined energy. That’s a solid day.
So, to sum it up: muddle through the first week, then the last week of the month, especially the 23rd through the 25th, brings in the sort of clean, lined-up groundswell that makes this reef worth paddling out for. Don't sleep on Wednesday the 23rd. That’s the pick of the bunch.

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.
