The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, in old-school numbers. Let’s get into this Milook forecast.
Gotta be honest, it’s a tough look-out for the next few weeks. The whole 16-day run is dealing with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind, just making a mess of things. We’ve got a wall of “poor surf conditions” straight from the start, all the way through to the 22nd of September. That’s a long, frustrating dry spell.
Milook’s a reef break that’s exposed to the swell. The very first record from Saturday the 14th of September shows the water temp at 65° that’s much warmer than average for this time of year. Nice, but it won’t save the session.
The main problem is the wind. For days, it’s blowing hard from the SW, WSW, WNW, and NW, mostly cross-on or straight onshore. The swell runs from about 3 ft up to 8 ft, with periods often short around 7-8 seconds, so the energy is weak to moderate. Even when the combined energy really pumps up, like on Monday the 21st of September (a big number), the wind is still ruining it.
For a kiter, that day with the 8 ft WNW swell and strong cross-on wind might be tempting. For us on paddle boards, it’s a mess.
We finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, things change. The morning shows a 6 ft W swell with a clean offshore breeze from the East (6 mph). Then Wednesday afternoon looks perfect – glassy, calm winds, with a 6 ft W swell. That’s your stand-out moment. The period is a little short at 7 seconds, but you can’t beat glassy water. Thursday morning the 24th keeps the good times rolling with a 4 ft W swell and a 15 mph offshore from the SE.
Your one true highlight is Wednesday the 23rd of September. That glassy window will turn that 6 ft swell into something fun. The rest of the fortnight is a bust. It’s a long, quiet spell, but it happens around here.
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.
