Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks for our local stretch. Honestly, it's a quiet period overall. There's a real gap here at the start with nothing worthwhile on offer for the first few days, so let's get into it.
The first real chance to get wet comes around Friday afternoon, July 3rd. We're looking at a tiny 3ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period, but the water is sitting at a balmy 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is cross-offshore, which keeps things clean, but the energy is weak overall (353). It's not a standout, just something to get a few small ones on a log.
The best of the early week comes on Saturday morning, July 4th. Same 2ft SSW swell, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be glassy. The energy is still light (333) and the swell period is a nice 14 seconds. It's small but clean. Later on Saturday afternoon and into Sunday and Monday, conditions get a bit messy with onshore or cross-shore winds, so look for the morning windows.
Now, if you're after something a bit punchier, keep an eye on Tuesday, July 7th. We see a building trend with a 3ft SSW swell and a solid 18-second period, pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 523. The wind stays cross-offshore in the morning, so it'll be clean. This is the first time the energy gets into the moderate range, and it's a nice little window for a point break like Point Mugu. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but crowds are possible, so get in early.
Wednesday, July 8th, holds similar 3ft SSW swell with that same 16-second period and clean cross-offshore winds in the morning. The energy is still moderate (504). Not a huge day, but solid for a Wednesday.
Later in the run, things fade out again, and the biggest standout appears to be on Sunday, July 12th. The swell drops to 3ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, but the real story is the wind. We get a stiff 16 mph offshore breeze from the NW in the afternoon, which will groom the faces beautifully at Point Mugu. The energy is moderate (318). This is the cleanest wind of the whole period, but the swell is small. It's a smooth, clean little session for those who aren't fixated on size.
After that, from Monday, July 13th, through the rest of the second week, the swell drops right off. We're looking at 1ft to 2ft swells from the SW with weak energy (often under 200). There are some clean morning windows, but it's essentially board-short weather for tiny, weak waves. Nothing to get excited about until around Saturday, July 18th, when a 2ft SW swell with a 17-second period shows up and the energy bumps back to 229, with clean cross-offshore winds. It might be worth a look if you're desperate and the forecast holds.
All in all, the best bet is that Tuesday morning, July 7th, for the most energy and clean conditions. The Sunday afternoon, July 12th, has the cleanest wind of the whole run. Everything else is small and underwhelming.
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.
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.
