The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the outlook for Milook is a tough one to swallow. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first week is a write-off. From Saturday the 5th right through to the weekend of the 12th, it’s all onshore wind, choppy, and messy. You’ll see a few pulses of swell, like a 7 ft WNW groundswell hitting on Monday the 7th, but it’s blown out by onshore winds. The combined energy spikes to 1370 (strong to very strong) but it’s a total waste with the wind. Not your day.
The only glimmer of hope comes way later. On Sunday the 13th of September, the morning shapes up with the wind going glassy – a light NE breeze at 3 mph. That’s a major positive. The swell is small, only 3 ft from the west at 9 seconds, but it’s clean. The combined energy is weak at 119. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your window. Crowds are possible at Milook, so you might have company.
After that, it’s more of the same. Monday the 14th morning offers a tiny 2 ft swell with a light cross-offshore wind, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Then another gap until Wednesday the 16th morning, when we get glassy conditions again with a 2 ft, 11-second swell. That’s a longer period, which means better shape, but it’s barely a ripple. The energy is 116 (weak).
Overall, it’s a lean period. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5 ft, so that’s not a concern, but the quality just isn’t there. For the experts, the bigger 7 ft day was blown out. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just doesn’t cooperate. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking bleak.
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.
