The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here again. Let’s talk Point Mugu in the old-school numbers.
Water temp is sitting at 71°F, which is a solid 7°F above what you’d usually see in September. Real unusual warm water – feels like a bath.
This 16-day stretch is all about small, long-period SW groundswell. Nothing big, nothing scary. You gotta pick your moments.
The standout is Wednesday morning, September 9th. A clean 2ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period – that’s proper push for such a small wave. Light cross-off breeze at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 289. For a beginner-friendly break like Point Mugu, this is the morning to be out. Crowds are possible, but the wave will be smooth and fun.
Another good window is Thursday afternoon, September 10th: 3ft of SW swell, 16-second period, clean cross-off breeze at 6 mph, and energy up to 410. That’s a nice afternoon session if the tide lines up.
The weekend gets a bit messy with lumpy cross-onshore wind. Saturday the 12th morning has just 2ft of swell and weak energy at 199, not worth rushing out for.
The next real highlight is Monday morning, September 21st. That morning shows 3ft of SW groundswell with a 17-second period, a light offshore cross-off breeze, and energy at 431. The cleanest, most lined-up small wave of the second week.
Expect a dry spell from September 14th through the 18th, where the swell barely cracks 1ft. That’s a solid 4 or 5 days of flat to tiny conditions.
Stick to the mornings with the offshore breeze and you’ll snag a few. It’s not pumping, but it’s clean.
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.
Point Mugu is 10 km (6 miles) from the city of Port Hueneme. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Hueneme. Port Hueneme has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
