The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the Point Mugu report. Let’s break down what’s coming.
Water’s feeling like a bathtub right now – 71°F, a solid 7°F above the usual for this time of year. That’s some weirdly warm water.
The action kicks off Sunday, 26 July. Clean 3ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period. Light cross-offshore breeze, glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 544. Perfect for a beginner-friendly wave like this, and it’s going to be a fun, clean session. Just watch for the occasional crowd.
Monday, 27 July, the morning is a bit mixed with a 4ft SW swell and a light cross shore wind. The afternoon is the real deal – 3ft SSW swell, 19-second period – that’s very long period – and a cross-offshore breeze. Energy jumps to 750. This is a standout. The waves will have a long, drawn-out feel.
Tuesday, 28 July, is the pick of the week. The afternoon sees a clean 3ft SSW swell, 17-second period, with a cross-offshore breeze. Energy is pumping at 835. That’s the best of the bunch – very good surf, clean and punchy for the size.
Wednesday, 29 July, the afternoon cleans up with a 3ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. Light cross-offshore breeze, energy at 785. Another good session.
From Thursday, 30 July, it gets a bit messy. The swell bumps to 4ft from the S, but the period drops to 14-15 seconds. Wind is onshore or cross-shore, so it’s not the clean perfection we had. Friday, 31 July, the swell hits 5ft from the S, period 14 seconds. The afternoon has a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is 904 – getting strong. It’s a mixed bag: more power, but less quality.
Saturday, 1 August, the swell is 4ft from the SSW, period dropping to 12-13 seconds. Energy is moderate. It’s okay, but not a standout.
Then it goes flat. From Sunday, 2 August, through to Monday, 10 August, the surf drops to tiny – 1ft to 3ft – with very low energy, often under 100. It’s a long, quiet stretch of about 8 days with nothing worth paddling out for. The conditions are clean at times, but there’s just no swell.
So, the best of the lot is Tuesday, 28 July, afternoon, with that 3ft SSW groundswell, high energy, and clean wind. Monday, 27 July, afternoon is a close second. Get it this week, because after that it’s a desert.
Rusty.

Information about the Point Mugu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Point Mugu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point Mugu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Point Mugu 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 (Point Mugu) 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 Point Mugu 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.
