The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's run through the same stretch but in feet and miles.

First off, that water temp is something else. It's 71°F, which is 7°F warmer than the long-term average for this time of year. That's a wild anomaly.

As for the waves, it's a tough outlook for Point Mugu. The first week is pretty much a write-off. We're looking at tiny ankle-biters and winds that are mostly cross or blowing onshore, messing up any chance of a clean face. The combined swell energy numbers are all in the weak zone, mostly in the low 200s. You won't find anything worth your time until Saturday afternoon, the 15th.

That Saturday, the 15th, is the pick of the litter. The wind swings around to a clean cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, and we get a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period. That's a proper long-period groundswell, and the combined energy hits 501 – solid, moderate power. That long period will wrap nicely into Point Mugu, giving you some real shape. It'll be glassy clean. Keep in mind it's a beginner-friendly spot that can get busy.

The Monday morning, the 17th, and Tuesday morning, the 18th are also worth a look. Clean, light offshore winds with the same SSW swell dropping to 3ft and 2ft. Energy drops to 310 and 296, so smaller, but still clean enough for a longboard or foamie.

After that, from the 19th on, it fizzles right back out. So, you're really looking at one solid afternoon on the 15th and a couple of small, clean mornings after that. Not a lot to work with over 16 days.

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.
