Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a pretty quiet stretch for Point Mugu. We’re lookin’ at a solid week of small, long-period groundswell, with waves generally hanging around the 1 ft to 3 ft range. The energy is what I’d call weak to moderate, sittin’ mostly between 102 and 529 for that combined swell number. That’s not a lot of punch. The good news is the wind stays pretty light and often cross-off or clean, so the water will look nice and tidy, but the size is just gonna keep things mellow. Think longboard or a fun little twinny, not a shortboard day.

We kick off Friday, July 3rd with a 3 ft SSW groundswell. The period is a juicy 16 seconds, so these waves are gonna have some shape and a bit of push, but the combined energy is still low at 312. There’s a light cross-onshore breeze in the morning, but by the afternoon it turns cross-off with a clean face. It’s surfable, but definitely on the smaller side.

Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are very similar – same small size, same long-period groundswell. Saturday afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-off, and Sunday afternoon cleans up too, but the swell drops a hair.

Now, there are a couple of mornings that stand out as the best of the bunch. Tuesday the 7th morning looks like our real standout. The swell is still a small 3 ft from the SSW, but the energy bumps up to 529, and we’ve got light offshore winds out of the W. The water should be glassy and clean for those long walls. It’s a beginner-friendly height and the wind is perfect. The next best shot is Thursday the 9th. Again, 3 ft SSW swell with clean, cross-off winds in the morning and afternoon. Energy is a bit lower at 442, but it’s clean and offshore. For this kind of small, clean setup, Point Mugu is a treat – just watch out for crowds, as they can be around sometimes.

After the 9th, things go pretty quiet. From Friday July 10th through Saturday the 18th, the forecast drops off hard. The swell fades to 1 ft – 2 ft, with poor conditions or just very ordinary, marginal surf. The energy drops into the low 100s. It’s gonna be a long flat spell, more than a week where there’s hardly anything worth paddling out for.

That’s the picture. Small but clean early on, then a long dry spell.

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.
