The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we have a bit of a slow start. The waves are small, mostly around the 3ft to 3ft mark, but the quality is there. The water is sitting at a very warm 71°, which is over 7° warmer than what we'd normally expect for this time of year. It’s like bathwater out there, a real treat.

The best bet for the next few days is looking like Friday afternoon, the 24th of July. That's when a solid 2ft swell from the SW rolls in with a 24-second period. That's a long-period groundswell, and it's packing some serious energy for its size, with a combined energy reading of 520. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze, so those waves are going to be glassy and lined up. This is a point break setup, so those long-period swells will wrap in beautifully without breaking too straight. The wave strength is moderate, but the quality will be there for a fun session. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here, so get out there early.

Saturday morning, the 25th of July, is another solid shout. We've got a 3ft swell from the SSW, still with that lovely long 21-second period, pushing the combined energy up to 639. The wind is light and cross-off, meaning clean, peeling waves. This is right in the sweet spot for a long, fun session.

The pattern shifts a bit for the rest of the week. The swell drops off slightly, and the wind turns more onshore, making things a little bumpy. We get a bit of a pulse on the 31st of July, with a 5ft swell from the SSE and a 15-second period, and the wind is cross-off in the afternoon. That's a decent wave, but the period is shorter, so it won't be as clean as the earlier days. The energy is high, though, at 993, so there's plenty of push.

Unfortunately, after that, things go quiet. The first week of August looks pretty flat. From the 1st of August onwards, the swell drops to 1ft and stays there for days. The wind is mostly onshore, and the energy levels are weak, falling to just 75 or 78. This is a real lull in the action. The surf will be small and generally poor, with a few brief, ordinary moments. It's a bit of a dry spell, but that's not uncommon for this area at this time of year.

So, to wrap it up: Friday afternoon the 24th and Saturday morning the 25th of July are your standout sessions. Clean, lined-up, and long-period groundswell. After that, it's a holding pattern until the 31st, then a long flat spell.

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.
