Right then, let’s talk about what’s on offer here at Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty mellow run. We’re looking at small, long-period groundswell rolling in from the SSW for the most part, with waves staying under 3 ft. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things start to shape up properly on Sunday morning, July 5th. That’s your standout window. The swell’s only 2 ft from the SSW, but it’s riding on a long 18-second period, giving it some real shape and push. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, which is about as good as it gets for clean conditions. The ocean’s got a moderate amount of energy in it (342), so there’s some life out there. Crowds are possible here, so get in early for a proper session. For a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent, this is the one to aim for.
After that, the swell hangs in through the first half of the week, but the wind turns cross or cross-offshore, which will keep things clean but not as pristine. The energy steps up a notch around Tuesday and Wednesday (July 7th and 8th), with decent swell heights up to 3 ft and periods of 16-18 seconds – moderate wave energy in the 430 to 530 range. The morning winds are light, but cross-shore, so it’s not perfect. Still, it’s a solid run of small, rideable surf.
Come Thursday afternoon, July 9th, we get another little spike in quality – 3 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, a gentle cross-off breeze and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions”. That’s your second best bet if you missed the weekend.
Then things start to fade. From Friday, July 10th onward, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore more often, the period drops, and the swell size shrinks. The energy drops from moderate down to weak (under 200 by July 13th), and by July 15th we’re looking at barely anything – 1 ft swell and only 81 combined energy. It’s flat and messy through the second week, with a few clean but tiny afternoons that are only worth it for a longboard or a paddle.
So, bottom line: get out there Sunday morning July 5th or Thursday afternoon July 9th. After that, it’s slim pickings for a good week or so.

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.
