Point Mugu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks.

It's a bit of a slow start, to be honest. The first couple of days are pretty ordinary with small, weak swell and onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up. We’ve got a long period groundswell coming in from the SSW, but it’s tiny – around 2ft – and the energy is weak to moderate (171-318). Not much to get excited about there. The water is a balmy 73°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, almost 9° above average. That's very unusual.

We start to see things clean up from Thursday the 17th morning. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the WSW, and while the swell is still small at 2ft from the SSW, the energy is building into the moderate range (338). The waves will be clean but small. The real standouts start from Friday the 18th morning. We've got a 2ft to 2ft SW groundswell with a long period of 19 seconds and clean cross-offshore winds from the W. The energy is moderate (359). This will be a really fun, clean little wave, perfect for a longboard or a fish. The crowd factor is something to keep in mind here, as it can get busy.

Saturday the 19th morning is another beauty – 2ft SW groundswell, 18-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the W, and moderate energy (321). But the best of the best is shaping up for Sunday the 20th. The morning session is looking epic with a 2ft SW swell, 18-second period, and glassy conditions. Yes, glassy! That's a major positive, you'll be surfing in perfect, clean conditions. The energy is solidly moderate (312). The afternoon holds clean cross-offshore winds too.

Monday the 21st morning sees the swell bump up a touch to 3ft from the SW, 17-second period, still clean with light cross-offshore winds from the W. Energy is strong (377). This is the pick of the first week for sure. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon also looks good with similar conditions and strong energy (323).

After that, the second week gets a bit more inconsistent with some poor conditions and onshore winds returning. There are a few windows, like Sunday the 27th afternoon, with a clean 3ft SW swell and moderate energy (348), but it's less certain that far out.

So, if you're looking for the absolute best, your standouts are Sunday the 20th morning for that glassy, clean perfection, and Monday the 21st morning for the biggest, cleanest swell of the period. For the longboarders, every clean day from the 17th to the 21st will be a treat.

Rusty.
