The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty flat. We’re looking at a real quiet spell with tiny, weak swell and iffy winds. Don’t expect much action through the first several days. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday, August 14th. The morning session at Point Mugu is looking like a solid call. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 19-second period, giving it some real push (combined energy is 407). The wind is light and offshore from the west, so the surface should be clean. This is a beginner-friendly break, but that long-period swell might make it a bit tricky for the real newbies – it’ll be walling up nicely. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so expect some company.
That slight uptick keeps going into Saturday, August 15th morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, period at 16 seconds, still a decent groundswell (combined energy 515). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but still rideable. Again, Point Mugu is the spot.
Now, if you can hold out, the standout window hits Wednesday, August 19th. The afternoon session at Point Mugu is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 3ft SSW swell, period 15 seconds (combined energy 298), and the wind is a clean 15 km/h offshore from the west. That’s about as good as it gets for this stretch. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and a proper longboard or funboard wave. Get on it.
Thursday, August 20th is also a good one. Both the morning and afternoon have offshore wind, with the swell holding at 2ft from the SSW. The morning sees a moderate breeze, but the afternoon goes light and clean – that’s a solid call for a long session.
After that, we get a bit more wind-affected on Friday the 21st, and by Saturday the 22nd it’s back to small and onshore, so the window closes.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday, August 19th afternoon and Thursday, August 20th at Point Mugu. It’s not going to be huge, but it’ll be clean, fun, and the best we’ve got.
Rusty.
