Alright, Rusty here, checking in on Point Mugu. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming up over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few windows to keep an eye on. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 4/3 at home for now.
The first real chance to get wet starts Friday morning, July 3rd. It’s not huge, with a clean 3ft swell from the SSW rolling in with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 313, so there’s a bit of push. Winds are light and cross-onshore in the morning, but by Friday afternoon, they swing offshore from the west, cleaning things right up. Expect fun, clean waves through the afternoon. Saturday, July 4th, starts a bit smaller; the morning has a messy cross-shore wind on the 2ft SSW swell, but the afternoon cleans up with offshore wind again, though the swell drops to 1ft, making it a longboard session at best. Sunday, July 5th, is a write-off in the morning with poor conditions, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with offshore wind on a 2ft SSW swell. The real standout is Tuesday, July 7th. Tuesday morning looks mint: 3ft of SSW swell, a very long 18-second period, light offshore wind, and the combined energy jumps up to a solid 523. That’s the pick of the week for clean, lined-up waves.
After that, the quality begins to fade. Wednesday, July 8th, still has some fun afternoon sessions with offshore wind and 3ft SSW swell. From Friday, July 10th, right through Monday, July 13th, things turn poor with onshore and cross-onshore winds, though the swell holds around 3ft to 3ft. There’s a long gap of several days here where the surf is just not cooperating. By Tuesday, July 14th, the swell drops off significantly to 2ft and smaller, and the energy fades. From there, it's a real struggle: tiny 1ft waves and poor conditions for the rest of the second week. Thursday, July 16th afternoon shows a glimmer with clean 1ft SW swell, but it’s pretty ordinary. Basically, if you want the best of it, target Tuesday, July 7th, through Wednesday afternoon, July 8th. After that, it’s going to be a long wait for the ocean to wake back up.
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.
