The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the start of this run is pretty flat. We’re looking at a real slow few days kicking off Monday the 13th. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not a bad day to be in the water, but the waves are just not there. We’ve got a tiny 3ft SSW swell rolling in with a 13-second period, but the combined energy is only 263 – weak. The wind is a light cross-shore, and the report says “poor surf conditions.” It’s basically a lake with a ripple. We see a few mornings with similar small, weak swell in the 1ft to 2ft range through the rest of the week.

The only bright spot in this first week? Honestly, there isn't one. The afternoons on Monday the 13th, Tuesday the 14th, and Wednesday the 15th might offer a 1ft to 2ft wave with a clean face thanks to a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s so small it’s barely rideable. We’re looking at a blank stretch here for a solid 6 days.

Now, hang in there, because things start to get interesting towards the end of the week. By Thursday the 23rd of July, we finally see some life. The swell picks up to 5ft from the S with a 15-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1111 (strong) on the morning of the 23rd, but the wind is light onshore, keeping things messy. The afternoon is a cross-shore, still a bit of a mess.

The standout window is the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd of July. That’s your best bet. We’ve got a 3ft S swell with a 15-second period, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW. The combined energy is 631 (moderate), and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s not huge, but it’s going to be clean and lined up. The break is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent point break, so it’s a solid option for a fun session. It’s fairly exposed to the SW swell, and the wind that afternoon is going to make it glassy.

For the second week, the 24th and 25th of July also look promising. The afternoon of the 25th has a 4ft S swell with a cross-offshore wind, and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” The 26th and 27th also have clean afternoons in the 2ft to 2ft range with a very long 19-second period, which will bring some nice, pushy lines to the point. Just keep in mind, with that long period, the sets might be a bit more spaced out.

Overall, it’s a slow start, but the last week of the period has some real potential for clean, fun waves at Point Mugu. Keep an eye on that Wednesday the 22nd and the afternoon of the 25th.

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.
