The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at a slow start for Point Mugu. The first real surf worth paddling out for hits Monday morning (September 7th). A solid little pulse of S swell rolls in at 5ft, with a 13-second period, packing moderate energy (885). The water is a very warm 70°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – honestly feels like a tropical anomaly. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so that wave face is going to be clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but it’s a proper little groundswell with good shape and no wind to mess it up. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, but with the quality on offer, it’s worth the gamble.
That Monday afternoon fades a bit, and Tuesday sees a drop to 3ft and 4ft, still clean but smaller. By Wednesday (September 9th), the swell dips below 3ft and the period stretches out to 16-17 seconds. That’s proper long-period groundswell, which means smooth, lined-up waves that will hold up well at a point setup like this. But the size is barely a knee-high tap. The energy is low (289), so you’ll be working for a few good rides.
After that, it’s a long, lean stretch. From Thursday (September 10th) all the way through to the end of the second week, the swell stays under 3ft, mostly in the 1.0ft to 3ft range. The wind stays light and often cross-off or clean, but without the swell, it’s a flat spell. Mid-September has some tiny 2ft to 2ft pulses with very long periods (up to 19 seconds), but the energy is weak (under 500). The real kicker is that this is a long-period groundswell hitting a beach break setup – those waves will run straight and close out.
The best bet in the whole second week is that Monday morning (September 21st) when a 3ft S swell with 18-second period shows up (energy 464). But the wind is light cross-onshore, so it’ll have a bit of bump. Not a total write-off, but nothing like that first Monday.
Overall, the first Monday morning (Sept 7th) is the absolute winner. Get it while it’s clean, because the next two weeks are mostly a bust with a few tiny, long-period leftovers for the patient.
Rusty.

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.
