Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Point Mugu. The water is about 63°F, which is roughly 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year – a little above average.
Right now, there’s nothing happening. The first week is a slow grind of small, weak surf, with only a few windows that look worth paddling for.
On Thursday the 2nd, the morning is a dud with onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up with glassy conditions on waves about 2 ft. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th follow the same pattern – small, clean afternoons but the waves are unimpressive.
The real standout is Monday 6th July morning. We’ve got clean, light offshore conditions and a 2 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy sits at 426 (moderate) – that’s the most life we’ve seen. The swell direction lines up perfectly with what Point Mugu wants. It’s small but clean and surfable. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so get in early.
Wednesday 8th July afternoon is another good one: 3 ft of SSW swell, clean cross-off wind, and combined energy at 481 (moderate). That’s a solid session. Sunday 12th July morning also offers a clean window with 3 ft SSW swell and light wind – combined energy 293 (moderate). Worth a look.
After that, the second week fades into a long flat spell. From the 13th onward, it’s tiny, weak, and windy – combined energy dropping into the low hundreds or below. By the 15th and 16th, it’s barely worth a glance.
Your best bets are Monday 6th July morning and Wednesday 8th July afternoon. After those, the well runs dry for over a week.
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.
