The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid gap of poor conditions for the first few days. There's nothing worth paddling out for until Saturday the 5th of September. For nearly a week, we've got onshore winds and messy, choppy surf, so don't even bother waxing up.
Now, Saturday the 5th of September morning is our first real glimmer of hope. Milook is showing a clean, glassy start. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the W, with a long period of 11 seconds. That's proper groundswell. With zero wind and the water feeling much warmer than usual for this time of year, it'll be a beautiful morning to be out. The combined energy is a moderate 279, so there's some push there. It's an inconsistent reef break that can get crowded, so you'll want to be early to snag a peak to yourself.
After that, we're back into the doldrums for a few days. Winds pick up again, and the surf stays small and messy. The next standout appears on Tuesday the 8th of September. Tuesday morning, it's glassy again with a clean 5 ft swell from the W. The period is short at 7 seconds, but with 253 moderate energy, it'll be fun on the right bank. For a reef break, the short period might mean it's a little more sectiony, but it'll be clean.
Looking further out, there's a more powerful pulse around Monday the 14th of September. We see a 8 ft swell from the W, with a huge 955 energy reading – that's strong wave energy. But the wind is cross-onshore, making it messy. If the wind cleans up, that could be a proper session, but as it stands, it's a marginal call. Tuesday the 15th of September morning shows cleaner conditions with a 7 ft, 11-second groundswell and cross-offshore wind. That's a lot of water moving around with 917 energy. For the experienced crew, that could be one to watch, but it's a long way out.
Honestly, Saturday the 5th morning and Tuesday the 8th morning are your best bets in this run.
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.
