The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking for Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks.
We've got a slow start on the horizon. The good news is there's a bit of a pulse of swell expected early next week, but the initial days are looking pretty lackluster. Right now, there's not much to get stoked about until Monday the 7th.
The standout window, and really the only time I'd be rushing to get in the water, is Monday morning, September 7th. We're looking at a solid 5 ft swell coming from the South with a 12-second period. The winds are going to be clean and cross-off from the West at 9 mph, which should groom the waves nicely. The combined energy is moderate (745), making it a decent bet for a longboard or a fun mid-length. For beginners, the 5 ft swell might be a touch challenging, but it's manageable if you're feeling brave.
After that, it's a slow slide down. The rest of the week drops off quickly. Tuesday the 8th has some clean, waist-high leftovers around 3 ft, but we're talking long period groundswell (14 seconds) which can leave long waits between sets at a beach setup like this. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.
From about Wednesday the 9th onwards through the 20th of September, the swell just disappears into a long, drawn-out lull. We're looking at wave heights mostly under 2 ft for days on end. The long period swells (15-19 seconds) keep popping up in the data, but with such tiny heights, you're just going to be bobbing around on glassy, clean water with nothing to ride. The energy readings are weak, mostly under 350, which confirms it. Towards the very end of the forecast period, around Monday the 21st, there's a hint of a bump back up to 3 ft from the SW, but it's far out and not something to bank on.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, the only real call is Monday morning. Surf the 7th if you can, then clean the wax off your board and wait for the next proper swell.
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.
