The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a straight look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, the outlook for the entire 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, so don’t expect much. The water's sitting at about 65°F which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, if you were wondering about the first break we’ll talk about.
The only spot on the cards is Milook. It’s a reef setup, best for intermediate crew, but it’s inconsistent and often crowded. It’s exposed to the swell, with the optimum direction from the WSW.
For Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, we’ve got tiny, weak surf. On Sunday morning, you’re looking at a mere 2ft from the west with a short 9-second period. The combined energy is a feeble 81, and the cross-off wind from the SSE keeps it clean, but there’s simply no power. Monday the 7th morning sees a jump to 6ft from the west with a 13-second period, giving us a big energy reading of 1237, but it’s blown out with onshore winds. The afternoon is just as messy with cross-onshore chop.
Tuesday the 8th stays poor. Mornings bring 6ft from the west (9 seconds, 533 energy) but it’s onshore wind all day. Wednesday the 9th drops to 5ft and 4ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and unappealing. By Thursday the 10th, we get a brief moment of cross-shore wind on the morning with a weak 4ft from the WSW (6 seconds, 109 energy), but it’s cross-chop. The afternoon picks up a bit at 6ft but the wind swings onshore again.
From Friday the 11th all the way through to Sunday the 21st of September, it’s a grim run. Swell heights bounce around between 2ft and 6ft, but the wind is almost always onshore, cross-on, or blowing a gale. You’ll see a lot of “poor surf conditions” and zero scores. There’s a brief blip on Sunday the 20th with clean 2ft surf from the south, but it’s tiny. The only potential standout, and I use that term loosely, is Monday the 21st afternoon. We get a big 10ft from the west with a 9-second period and 1259 energy, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a messy, powerful beast only for experts, and with that onshore wind, it’s going to be a washing machine.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. The winds are relentless, and the swell never really lines up with clean conditions. We’ve got nothing that’s worth paddling out for. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a write-off.
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.
