Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Point Mugu. It’s gonna be a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon.
The surf pattern starts off pretty small, with a whole lot of mixed signals. Over the weekend and into the early week, we’re seeing small, clean waves, but the energy just isn’t there to get the heart pumping. The ocean is looking around `1ft` to `2ft` from the SSW with a long period, pushing that groundswell energy into a moderate range (around 301 to 530). The water is sitting at a very unusual `66°F`, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a treat, honestly. The wind is mostly light and cross-off or clean, which is about the only thing going for the small stuff.
The first real standout comes on Tuesday, July 7th during the morning session. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with light offshore NW wind at just `6 mph`. The swell is holding steady at `3ft` from the SSW with a period of 18 seconds, giving the waves some proper shape and power. The combined energy is kicking into a solid moderate range (530). For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s a fun, manageable wave with just enough push.
After that, things get a bit dicey. From Friday, July 10th through the middle of the next week, the wind turns onshore and the conditions get poor. Expect a few days of junk. By the weekend of the 18th and 19th, we start to see a subtle uptick again. Sunday morning, July 19th, is looking like the best of the longer-range call – clean, light offshore wind with a `2ft` SSW swell (16-second period) and the combined energy climbing back into the 353 range. It’s not a go-out-and-tell-your-mates swell, but for a clean, mellow point wave, it’s promising.
Overall, the next week is about patience, but the second weekend looks like the time to get wet. The waves won't be big, but they’ll be clean.

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.
