Milook Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.

Honestly, looking at the next sixteen days, it’s a pretty grim run for Milook. We’ve got a whole lot of poor surf conditions and not much to get excited about. There are a few windows where the swell pops, but the wind just ruins it every time.

Let’s start with this Friday morning, the 28th of August. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the west, but it’s a short-period 5-second windswell. With a fresh cross-onshore breeze from the WSW at 30 km/h, it’s going to be lumpy and messy. The combined wave energy is weak at 54, and the water is much warmer than normal at 66°.

Friday afternoon doesn’t get any better, with 4ft from the WSW and the same messy cross-onshore wind. Saturday the 29th sees a drop in size on the morning session to 2ft, but at least the wind goes cross-offshore from the south at 35 km/h, cleaning it up. It’s just too small to be worthwhile.

Then on Sunday the 30th, the morning looks okay on paper. We’ve got 4ft of west swell at a 9-second period with a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The conditions are clean, and the energy is moderate (264). It’s still a marginal surf forecast, but it’s the best-looking window in the first week. Not a standout, just the least bad option.

Monday the 31st sees a jump in size, with 8ft west swell in the morning and strong wave energy (1070). But the wind is onshore from the WNW at 25 km/h, and the wave comment calls it “poor surf conditions.” That’s a frustrating one, as it could have been something special if the wind swung.

After that, we’re into a real flat spell from the 1st of September through to the morning of the 10th. The surf is tiny or blown out, with onshore winds and weak energy. There’s a solid seven to eight-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. On Saturday the 5th, we get a tiny 3ft west swell with a light cross breeze, but it’s too small to ride.

Finally, around the 12th of September, a bigger pulse shows up. Saturday morning the 12th brings 5ft from the west with a 7-second period, and 406 energy. But here we go again – a strong cross-onshore wind from the WSW at 45 km/h makes it a messy, blown-out mess. That afternoon sees 6ft and 507 energy, but with a strong cross-onshore wind from the west at 40 km/h, it’s a write-off for surf. If you’re into kiting, that may be your window.

There are no true standouts here. The best you’ll get is maybe a quick, clean-ish session on Sunday morning the 30th of August with the cross-offshore wind, but even that is marginal.
