The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, translating this for the imperial crew.

The next couple of weeks are quiet. Swell’s around, but it’s small, and you really have to pick your windows.

The standout session of the whole run is Friday, September 18th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 2ft groundswell from the southwest with a long 19 second period. Wind is light from the west, cross-offshore, so the surface will be glassy. Wave energy is moderate at 357. It’s small, but with that period, the waves will have nice shape. The afternoon stays clean, too. Crowds are possible here, so get out early.

Sunday, September 20th is another solid call. Both morning and afternoon show clean 2ft SW swell with light cross-offshore winds. Energy climbs to 369 in the afternoon. It’s a day for the small-wave gear.

Earlier on, Friday, September 11th sees a 3ft southwest swell with a very long 16 second period. The morning has a light onshore breeze, but the afternoon cleans right up with light cross-offshore wind. Energy is moderate-to-strong at 331. It’s worth an afternoon paddle.

After the 20th, there’s a long gap. From Monday the 21st onward, the swell stays tiny, winds get messy, and energy drops off. It’s a flat-to-ordinary run through the end of the period. Don’t expect much.

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.
