The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at the next 16 days for our little corner of the coast. Honestly, it’s a grim stretch. The surf report is pretty much a write-off for most of the period, with a whole lot of poor conditions, onshore winds, and messy swell. There’s a massive gap of nothing worthwhile from now until the 7th of September. The water is sitting at 66°F with a 5°F anomaly — that’s much warmer than we’d expect for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but you’ll still need a whole lot of patience for the waves.
The only real standout in this entire 16-day window comes early on Monday, the 7th of September, at Milook. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does, you pay attention. Monday morning shapes up with a 6ft groundswell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds — that’s decent energy (combined swell energy: 561). The wind is glassy, coming from the northeast — a light 3 mph offshore breeze. That’s going to give you clean, peeling waves. It’s a solid option for intermediate surfers, but keep in mind it’s exposed and the optimum swell direction is west-southwest. This is the best you’re going to get, and it’s only a brief window before the afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy.
Before that, the whole stretch from now through the 6th of September is a washout. Expect onshore winds, rain, and lumpy, poor surf. The 5th of September late afternoon has a small 3ft west swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so nothing to get excited about. The 6th of September Sunday morning is at least clean with a 3ft west swell (combined energy: 107), but it’s marginal and inconsistent.
After the 7th, it fades back into mediocrity. The 9th of September Wednesday morning has a clean 4ft west-northwest swell (combined energy: 111) with a light offshore breeze from the southeast, but the short period of 6 seconds means it’s weak and not well-formed. By the end of the run, on the 13th of September, there’s a long-period 15-second west swell, but it’s only 1ft with a strong onshore wind — not worth paddling out for.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, circle Monday morning, the 7th of September at Milook. Glassy conditions, a clean 6ft west swell, and that rare reef break firing. That’s your one shot. The rest of the outlook is a dud.
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.
