The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Point Mugu.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The week starts off with some small, rideable waves, but the real action builds towards the end of July and into the first day of August. After that, it’s going to get real quiet, with a long stretch of flat, poor conditions.
The standout window is the afternoon of Tuesday the 28th of July. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, which means it’ll have some real push and shape to it. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, so it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (746). This is the best on offer.
The next best is the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the S, with a period of 14 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore again, keeping it tidy. The energy is ramping up strong (1393). This is a solid call, but that 5ft might be getting a bit much for the beginners.
The morning of Saturday the 1st of August will see a bit more size at 6ft from the S, but with a period dropping to 13 seconds. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s a bit of a wait for the cleaner afternoon session. The afternoon of the 1st of August sees the swell drop back to 5ft from the SSW, with a clean cross-offshore wind and a very good score. The energy is dropping (753), but it’s still a good call.
The crowd profile at Point Mugu is "sometimes", so you might see a few other heads out, but it’s not a zoo.
The water temperature is 71°, which is a huge 8° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be in for a very warm, pleasant paddle.
After the 1st of August, the wheels fall off. From the 2nd of August right through to the end of the outlook on the 8th, the surf is tiny and the conditions are poor. We’re talking flat spells with hardly any energy. It’s a long gap of nothing to get excited about.
So, to wrap it up: the best bets are Tuesday afternoon the 28th of July, and the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. After that, you’re waiting for a change in the charts.
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.
