The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Milook’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week to ten days is a bit of a write-off. The swell is there, but the wind is just ruining it. We’ve got a moderate wave energy (497) kicking off on Tuesday the 8th of September with 6ft of W swell, but a stiff 16 mph NW cross-on shore is making a proper mess of it. That pattern just keeps on going, day after day. There’s a little 2ft clean window on Thursday morning, but it’s barely a ripple. You’re looking at a solid stretch of "poor surf conditions" until we finally get a break in the clouds.
Now, if you hold out, there’s a glimmer. The real standout here is Friday the 18th of September. The afternoon session looks like the best we’re gonna get. The wind goes glassy, absolute magic for this exposed reef. We’ve got 4ft of W swell with an 11-second period, giving it some decent shape and energy (289). It’s not huge, but with that glassy surface, Milook will be clean and lining up nicely. This is your window.
A day later, Saturday the 19th morning has a bit of clean 3ft swell with a light offshore ESE wind, but it’s smaller. The afternoon goes glassy again, but the swell drops to 2ft.
After that, the energy fades and the wind switches back onshore, and by the 21st we get a weird burst of very long period groundswell (16 seconds) but with 25-28 mph onshore winds – that’s just a washing machine. A long period like that would be great for the reefs here, but not in that wind.
So, the plan is simple: wait it out. The only true standout is that Friday afternoon session on the 18th. Get on it while it’s glassy. For the rest of the time, it’s a blank run. Hang in there.

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.
