The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Milook. It’s a reef setup, intermediate-level, and it usually only works when the swell and wind line up just right. That’s the bad news first: this spot is “inconsistent,” and for the next week and a half, we’re basically looking at a whole lot of nothing. The onshore winds and cross-shore chop are killing the vibe. From Wednesday the 9th right through to Tuesday the 15th, the surf is poor – lumpy, choppy, and just not worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year at Milook, so no surprises there.
Now, there is a flicker of hope. It’s not until the second week, but we’ve got a real standout day on Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning shows a moderate offshore breeze from the east, cleaning up a 2ft swell from the WNW with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell period, which is great for a reef break like this. The energy is moderate (268). The afternoon is the absolute pick: a gentle offshore breeze, a clean 7ft swell from the WNW, period of 11 seconds, and a combined energy of 937. That’s moderate to strong energy, and the wind is offshore. This is the best on offer, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising, tentative plan. Remember, 7ft is getting solid for Milook and could be a bit much for beginners. The other potential window is Saturday the 19th of September, but it’s a much smaller 3ft swell with a very long 11-second period, and the energy is only 207. It’s clean with a light cross-offshore wind, but it’s not the same level as the 23rd.
For the rest of the run, there’s a long gap of poor conditions. The 23rd is the one to circle on the calendar. Keep your fingers crossed.
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.
