The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook. We’re looking at a serious dry spell with hardly any surf worth mentioning. The first real chance of a decent wave doesn’t roll in until Thursday the 17th of September, so you’re looking at about 12 days of flat, weak, or messy conditions. The waves that do pop up before that are either tiny, blown out, or both.
The only break on the menu is Milook (United Kingdom), a reef break that’s usually inconsistent. But when it gets a good west-southwest swell and the right wind, it can be a fun little wave. The water is running at 65°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notable, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit.
Here’s the one bright spot. Focus on Thursday the 17th of September. That morning, we’ve got a clean 5ft W-NW swell rolling in with a light offshore breeze from the ESE. The wave energy is moderate (220), and the wind is light enough to keep the surface glassy. By the afternoon, it goes dead calm with a bit of light rain, and the swell drops to 4ft from the west, though the period is only 8 seconds – so it’s a bit short-period, but it’ll be clean. That’s your window. It’s not big, but on a reef with offshore winds, it’ll be rideable and probably fun for an intermediate. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.
The Friday morning after that, the 18th, is still surfable with a 4ft W swell and offshore winds, but it’s smaller and nothing to get excited about. The weekend after that is tiny and mostly onshore again.
Bottom line: one decent day on the 17th after a long wait. If you’re keen, that’s your best bet. Otherwise, I’d sit this one out.
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.
