The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Point Mugu. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and it breaks pretty consistently, so there’s always a chance. The water is at 71°, which is way warmer than it should be for this time of year – about 7° above normal, so you’ll be fine in a shorty.

The first decent look is Thursday, the 6th of August. The morning is a mess – tiny 1ft SW swell, a light cross-onshore breeze, and the energy is weak (92). Not worth getting wet for. But the afternoon cleans up nicely. The swell bumps to 2ft from the SW, with a 13-second period, and the wind goes clean cross-off. The energy is moderate (136). It’s small, but it’s rideable.

Friday the 7th has a longer period swell, 19 seconds from the SSW, with more energy (329), but the wind is cross-on in the morning and just cross in the afternoon. It’s a iffy. That same pattern of small, messy surf carries through the weekend and into the start of the next week. Swells are 2ft to 2ft, mostly from the SSW, with light winds that are often onshore or side-shore. The energy is moderate. There are a few clean moments, but nothing to write home about.

The real highlight comes in the second week. Sunday, the 16th of August, is the day. The afternoon has 3ft of clean SSW swell, a 15-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze from the WNW. The energy is moderate (291). This is the best looking surf of the whole forecast. It’s small, clean, and perfect for a beginner.

The following Wednesday, the 19th of August, also has a good afternoon – 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and clean offshore winds again. The energy is moderate (284). That’s another one to mark on the calendar.

The first week is mostly a struggle with small, crummy conditions. The second week has a couple of gems, especially the 16th and 19th. Don’t expect anything big, but for a mellow wave, those afternoons will be real nice.

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.
