The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Milook stretch. It's a quiet picture for a while, I gotta be honest.
We're looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. From now, right through the first week of September, it’s pretty much a no-go. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions with messy onshore winds and lumpy, choppy water. Nothing worth getting excited about.
The first flicker of hope comes on Monday the 8th of September. The morning shows a 6ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-onshore, keeping things a bit choppy. The combined wave energy is moderate at 554. It’s still only rated as “marginal” at best, but it’s the first real pulse of energy we’ve seen. The afternoon drops back to 6ft and the same kind of conditions.
Then we get a bit of a tease. Tuesday the 15th of September morning is the standout in this whole 16-day window. It’s not huge, with a 2ft west swell and an 11-second period – that’s some nice groundswell energy getting in there. The combined energy is moderate at 157. But the real winner here is a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE, which will keep the surface glassy and clean. This is the one time in the forecast where you can expect clean, lined-up waves, even if they’re on the smaller side. It’s a true rarity given the preceding weeks. Milook is an inconsistent reef break and it often has crowds, so if you can get out there for that Tuesday morning session, grab it.
Before that, the weekend of the 6th and 7th is just too small and weak to bother with, and everything after that 15th Tuesday drops right back off into nothing.
So, to sum it up: you’re essentially waiting until Monday the 8th for any real swell, but it’s not clean. The real, genuine standout is that Tuesday the 15th morning with the offshore wind. Everything else is a write-off for paddle surfing in this outlook.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.

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.
