The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here, checking in on the Point Mugu surf for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a ride with a couple of real sweet spots, but a lot of flat spells too.
The action starts on the 6th of September. Sunday morning is a bit messy with some light rain and a light wind from the SSE, but the swell is a solid 5ft from the south, with a 14-second period. The real beauty is Sunday afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dead flat calm, and the swell holds at 5ft from the south. The water is a warm 70°, which is about 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s real unusual, you’ll be in a spring suit or boardies. The combined energy is a solid 892 (moderate), and those long-period lines from the south will wrap in nicely. This is the best on offer. The crowds can be around sometimes, but with these conditions, it’s a no-brainer.
Monday the 7th still has some power. The morning is clean, with a cross-offshore breeze from the west and 5ft of south swell. The period is still a solid 13 seconds, and the energy is 897 (moderate). The afternoon gets a bit windier, with a 12 mph cross-offshore from the WNW, and the swell drops slightly to 5ft from the SSW. Still surfable, but the morning is the pick.
The size drops off fast after that. Tuesday the 8th has 4ft of south-southwest swell in the morning, but the wind is stronger. By Tuesday afternoon it’s down to 3ft, and the energy is 395 (moderate). From Wednesday the 9th through to the 12th of September, the swell is small, mostly under 3ft, with periods dropping. The energy dips into the low 100s and 200s (weak to moderate). It’s going to be a bit of a flat spell with some close-out days. Not much to write home about.
There’s a little lift on the 13th of September, with a 4ft west swell showing up in the afternoon. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW, but the period is only 10 seconds, so it’s a bit short. The energy is 345 (moderate). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The rest of the second week, from the 14th to the 20th of September, is mostly small and weak. The swell sits around 1ft to 2ft, with very long periods of 16 to 19 seconds, but without the height to do much. The energy is mostly in the low 100s to low 300s (weak to moderate). It’s a quiet period.
Then, on the 21st of September, Monday morning, we get a bit of a pulse. A 3ft swell from the south-west with a 17-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the west. The energy is back up to 408 (moderate). It’s a promising sign, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, the clear standout is Sunday afternoon the 6th of September. Glassy, clean, moderate energy, and a great south swell. If you can’t make that, the Monday morning the 7th is your next best bet. The rest of the forecast is mostly small and ordinary, but that one window is a ripper.
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.
