Table - best surf conditions forecast for Point Mugu over the next 16 days.
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Point Mugu. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there are a couple of windows that could be worth your time if you're patient.
Right off the bat, things are pretty lackluster. There’s a small, long-period groundswell from the SSW rolling in, but the first couple of days are a mixed bag with cross-shore breezes and just marginal conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The swell energy is moderate, sitting around 513 on Wednesday morning, but it drops off quickly.
Honestly, the standout moment in this whole 16-day stretch looks to be Monday, July 20th. The morning is the pick – we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the S, a 13-second period, and light offshore winds from the W. The combined energy is a solid 548, indicating moderate wave energy, and conditions are clean. This is the one to aim for. Point Mugu can get crowded sometimes, so keep that in mind, but this is the cleanest, most energetic window on offer.
Thursday, July 17th morning also shows a flash of clean surf with a 1ft swell from the SW, a very long 19-second period, and light winds. But it’s tiny, and with that 1ft height and combined energy of only 159, it’s more of a longboard or log session. That long period (over 15 seconds) at a point break like Mugu could make for some nicely shaped runners, but the size is really limiting.
After July 20th, the swell fades again. There’s another clean looking morning on Tuesday, July 21st with a 2ft SW swell and offshore winds, but the energy drops back to 318. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
So, to sum it up: you’re looking at a lot of small, average days for the next two weeks. The window around Monday morning, July 20th is the clear standout for anything with a bit of push and decent shape. Everything else is for the patient or the beginner just wanting to get wet. Keep an eye on that day.
Rusty.

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.
