Table - best surf conditions forecast for Point Mugu over the next 16 days.
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk Point Mugu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, don’t expect much. The first week is full of tiny, clean waves but nothing that’ll get you excited. The water’s about normal for July.
Your first real chance at something decent is the afternoon of Saturday, July 11th. The wind goes glassy, with a tiny 3 ft swell from the SSW at a really long 15 seconds. It’ll be clean as a mirror, but the energy is weak (273). It’s a good one for a beginner to get wet. Expect a few other folks out there.
Sunday the 12th is messy with cross-shore winds, and Monday and Tuesday are mostly average. The afternoons stay clean with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft to 3 ft with low energy (195-210). Nothing to write home about.
Now, keep your eyes on the Saturday, July 18th afternoon. That’s the real one. The energy jumps way up to 864 – that’s strong. The swell is still small at 2 ft, but it’s from the SSE with a very long 18-second period. With a clean cross-off wind, this long-period groundswell will wrap right into the point. This is the standout of the whole forecast. A sneaky great session.
Sunday the 19th is similar with strong energy (751) and a bit more size, around 3 ft to 4 ft from the S, but the period drops a touch. Still clean in the afternoon.
Tuesday the 21st of July afternoon is another one to watch. Clean, light winds with a 3 ft SSW swell and a good 15-second period. Moderate energy (378), but it should be fun and rippable. After that, it fades away through the rest of the week to much smaller, weaker surf with more onshore wind.
So here’s the call: the afternoon of Saturday, July 18th is the one you don’t want to miss. The afternoon of Tuesday, July 21st is a solid backup plan.
Rusty out.

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.
