Alright, Rusty here again, let me break it down in feet and degrees Fahrenheit for you.
Right off the bat, the water is at 65.5°F, which is over 3.5°F warmer than you’d usually expect for this time of year – a notable 3.8°F anomaly, meaning it’s noticeably warmer than normal. That’s a nice bonus for the start of the outlook.
The real story here is a long, drawn-out run of small, clean swell. The combined energy is moderate (372) on the first Sunday, but the surf is tiny – around 2.3ft from the SSW on an 18-second period. This is a long-period groundswell, which at a beach/point setup like this can sometimes straighten out, but with the small size it should still offer some fun lines. The highlight of the entire outlook is the window from Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th. You’ve got consistent SSW swell holding around 2.3ft to 3ft, and the energy builds nicely – peaking at 623 on Tuesday afternoon. The wind is clean, either light cross-off or light breeze, keeping the surface smooth. Tuesday morning is a bit cross-shore, but the afternoon cleans right up. That’s your best run of the whole month at Point Mugu.
After that, it gets messy. Thursday the 9th is still clean but the swell drops a touch. Then Friday and Saturday the 10th and 11th are outright poor – strong onshore wind from the S and SSE, choppy, no thanks. Sunday the 12th bounces back with clean conditions and 2.6ft to 3ft swell, but the energy is back down to a moderate 329. After that, the second week is a slow fade. There are a few scattered clean moments – Monday the 13th afternoon goes glassy with 2.3ft from the SSW, and Sunday the 19th has glassy conditions with a spike in energy up to 510 on a 2.3ft SW swell – but overall size is dropping into the 1.3ft to 1.6ft range for most of the middle of the second week. Don’t get your hopes up too high for that long-range window; it’s promising but less certain.
If you’re a beginner, the 2.3ft to 3ft range is perfect for you – well under the 5ft threshold. But from the 14th onward, the swell gets so small (1.3ft to 1.6ft) that it’s really only fun for a longboard or a foiler.
The standout: Monday July 6th through Wednesday July 8th – clean, consistent 2.3ft to 3ft SSW groundswell with light winds. That’s the pick of the whole outlook.

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.
