The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, checking in with the outlook for your local stretch. We've got a bit of a mixed bag on the way, but there's a clear window to get your fix.

We're starting off with some OK conditions, but the real standout is going to be a couple of afternoons later this week. The water's sitting at a balmy 71°F, which is a solid 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's seriously toasty, you might not even need a spring suit.

First up, Point Mugu has a bit of life in it. Sunday the 26th morning is a bit average, but by the afternoon it cleans right up. You've got a clean 3ft SW swell with a nice long 18-second period. The wind goes glassy light at just 3 mph. It’s not huge, but the wave energy is moderate (504) and it’ll be clean and fun on a log.

Monday the 27th, the swell bumps up a touch to 4ft SW, still with a great 18-second period, and the afternoon has a light cross-off breeze. The energy is up to (745) – feel that pulse. It's not a classic point break, but with that long period SW groundswell it’ll set up nice lines.

The pick of the forecast is Tuesday the 28th afternoon. Swell holds at 3ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, and the wind is a light 9 mph cross-off from the W. They’re saying it’ll be clean, and the energy peaks at (835) – the highest of the whole period. That's the session to aim for if you can sneak away. It can get a crowd here sometimes, though.

Wednesday the 29th afternoon is another solid option with clean 3ft SSW swell.

Now, we hit a bit of a lull. From Saturday the 1st of August afternoon the swell starts to drop. The energy falls off a cliff, going from (379) down to (145) by Sunday the 2nd. The waves get small and ordinary. From Monday the 3rd through to Saturday the 9th of August, it’s mostly flat with poor conditions. There's a tiny blip of energy (400) on Friday the 7th afternoon, but it’s marginal at best. That’s a long gap – about 5 to 6 days of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.

There is a little flicker on the 7th of August with a 2ft SSW swell and a very long 19-second period, but the wind is sketchy.

After that, the surf stays small and weak right through until the end of the forecast. If you’re a beginner, that first week has plenty of knee-to-waist high clean waves to learn on, but anything over 5ft doesn't show up, so you're all good. For the rest of us, get it while you can this week.

Stay stoked.
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.
