The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up at Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow start, but once we get past the first few days, the south swell kicks in and we’ve got a solid run of clean, lined-up surf. The water is sitting at 66.7°, which is a good 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – so you can get away with a thin suit or even a springy.

The first few days are pretty small and messy. July 16 Thursday morning has a tiny 1.3 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross‑onshore – just not worth paddling out. Thursday afternoon cleans up a little, but still only 1.3 ft and ordinary. July 17 Friday is a write‑off with onshore winds and poor conditions. July 18 Saturday morning is marginal, but Saturday afternoon shows some promise: 2.0 ft SW swell, 18‑second period (that’s a very long‑period groundswell), with light cross‑offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (297), so it’s small but clean fun for a longboard or a fish.

Now we get into the good stuff. July 19 Sunday morning is still a bit marginal, but Sunday afternoon is a real treat: 4.9 ft of S swell, 14‑second period, and clean cross‑offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 1097 (strong). That’s a solid, powerful wave – not for beginners, but intermediate and above will have a blast. Expect crowds possible at this spot on a day like this.

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.
