Alright fellas, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Point Mugu.
We’ve got a pretty slow start to this 16-day stretch. The first week or so is looking real quiet, with not much to get you out of bed. The overall picture is a long, slow build towards a much better weekend, so you’ll need to be patient.
From Friday the 10th all the way through the 18th, the surf is mostly small and weak. Swell heights are hovering around 1ft to 3ft, mostly from the SSW, with periods from 12 to 17 seconds. The energy is low, with readings like 271, 325, and 265, nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping. Winds are a mix, with some clean cross-off sessions, but the waves are just too small to be worth the drive. There’s a brief moment on Sunday afternoon the 12th and Monday the 13th where conditions clean up, but it’s still only 3ft to 3ft, so it’s small, clean fun for a log or a foil.
The real standout, the one you want to save your energy for, is Sunday the 19th. The morning is looking like the absolute best of the whole period. We’re expecting a solid 3ft to 4ft of swell, with the direction shifting more to the SSE and S. The energy jumps way up to 772 and then 1004, a solid, moderate to strong pulse of power. The wind is light and offshore out of the W, turning cross-off in the afternoon. That’s clean, glassy, lined-up surf. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°, so that’s a nice little bonus. This is the one to circle, but be ready for a crowd, because this spot can get packed when it’s on.
After that peak, Monday the 20th still has some decent energy (410), but the swell drops back to 3ft and the period shortens a bit. It’s still surfable, but the magic of Sunday will be gone. The rest of the week from the 21st to the 25th is a return to smaller, less consistent surf, with a lot of “marginal” and “poor” conditions. There’s a little flicker on Saturday the 25th afternoon with a 4ft S swell and clean offshore wind, but it’s a long way out and the forecast can change.
So, the game plan is simple: don’t bother paddling out until the 19th. That’s your day. Before that, kick back and wait.
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.
