The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole period is a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, it’s gonna take a bit of patience to find a window. There’s a real gap here, with nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for until that first Saturday morning.
Alright, so the first real chance of gettin’ wet comes on Saturday, the 5th of September. That’s our stand-out window. Milook is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so it’s not a spot you can just rock up to and expect a wave every time. But when it’s on, it’s on. The early session on Saturday is looking proper. The swell is from the west, headin’ in at 4 ft, with a nice 10-second period. That’s a decent groundswell, so the waves will have some shape and energy. But the real kicker? It’s glassy. The wind is just a whisper from the SW at 3 mph. That means the surface will be like a mirror. Clean, silky lines. The combined energy is at 249—moderate, but with that glassy wind, it’ll be worth the paddle. The water’s also sittin’ at 66°, which is a good 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real treat.
Now, the Saturday afternoon session drops off a bit. The swell backs down to 3 ft, and the wind swings more onshore, so it won’t be as good as the morning.
The rest of the 16-day window? I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—it’s mostly grim. The wind is on it nearly every day, with onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and a lot of the time it’s pumpin’ at 15 mph or more. The swell keeps coming through, with a few pulses hitting 7 ft, like on Monday the 7th, and even 7 ft on Tuesday the 8th. But the wind just ruins it. It’ll be lumpy, choppy, and messy. The combined energy gets up into the 800s, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s not surfable in a clean way. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, with that much wind and chop, it honestly looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.
So, to sum it up: if you can get out on Saturday morning, the 5th of September, that’s your shot. Glassy conditions, a touch of warm water, and a solid little west swell. It’s inconsistent, so you might have to wait for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be clean. After that, the forecast is a long, dusty stretch of onshore wind and blown-out surf. It’s a bummer, but it’s the way it is.
Keep your eyes peeled, and hope the forecasts change. Until then, I’ll be watching the horizon.
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.
