The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf at Milook, a reef break that's a bit of a moody spot - it's inconsistent and needs the right west-southwest groundswell to fire. It's wide open to the west.
The water's sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than what you'd expect for this time of year.
Looking at the next couple of weeks, there's a lot of swell on the menu, but the wind is the big problem. It's gonna be messy for the majority of the forecast.
We start with a solid pulse on Friday the 4th, with waves around 7 ft from the west, but it's being blown to bits by a strong onshore wind. Total washout. That same story repeats all through the weekend and into the next week. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore from the west or west-northwest, and often gusty. The water will be choppy and lumpy. Even though the swell energy is moderate to strong (563, 469, 1200 on Monday morning), the quality is just poor.
The only real bright spot is way out there at the end of the run. On Thursday the 17th of September, the wind finally switches around to a clean offshore breeze from the east. The swell will be small, around 3 ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is weak (122), but the conditions will be clean and glassy. It's a little wave for a longboard or a funboard. Then on Friday the 18th, the wind picks up but stays cross-offshore from the northeast. The swell jumps a bit to 5 ft - 6 ft from the west-northwest, but the period drops to a short, weak 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (220), but the wind is strong so it'll be bumpy.
This is a frustrating spot. For almost the entire 16-day window, the wind is a deal-breaker. The one good window is the 17th, and even then, it's a small, clean day. Don't plan any big trips around it.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
