Hey crew, Rusty here, looking at the long-range picture for our local waves. It's a slow start for sure, but there's some proper size on the horizon worth holding out for.
The first week is quiet. Swell is small, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy is low to moderate (readings between 126 and 338). For Point Mugu, which needs a good SW push, it's pretty flat. You'll get some clean-looking water with the cross-offshore breezes, but with no real swell behind it, it's more of a rest day. This flat spell runs for about a week, through to around Friday the 18th.
Things start to pick up a bit on Saturday the 19th of July. Swell energy climbs to the moderate range (575-663), and we see waves around 4 ft from the S on Sunday morning. The water temp is a pleasant 66°°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you'll be comfy in a spring suit.
Now here's the session you're waiting for. Thursday the 24th of July is the standout. Point Mugu should be firing with a clean 5-6 ft swell from the S, groomed by a glassy cross-offshore WSW breeze at 10 mph. The combined energy is a healthy 1226—solid grunt. The swell direction (S) is near the ideal SW, so it'll wrap in nicely for those long, drifty rights. The water will be a bit more crowded when it's this good ("sometimes" crowd factor), but it'll be worth competing for a spot.
Wednesday the 23rd is also a good warm-up, with 5-6 ft from the S, though the wind is a bit more side-onshore. After the 24th, Friday the 25th offers a cleaner 4 ft from the SSW with light offshore winds, making for another good one. The last weekend of July has some long-period groundswell (18-19 secs), but it's small at 2-2 ft, so more of a log-session.
Bottom line: be patient through the flat first week, then get ready for Thursday the 24th of July. That's the day for Point Mugu.
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.
