Alright, Rusty again, switching to imperial. For Point Mugu, we’ve got a long stretch of small, mostly blah surf starting Sunday July 5th and running through the 16-day outlook. The water temp this morning is 66°F, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for early July – nice for a swim, but the waves aren’t cooperating yet.
Sunday through Tuesday (5th–7th): waist-high waves around 2–3 ft from the SSW, with long periods of 16–20 seconds. That’s good energy for shape, but the winds are cross, cross-on, and light – leaving a bit of chop. Combined energy is moderate (376–531). Surf quality is poor to marginal. Small and scrappy.
Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th show a little improvement. Clean cross-off winds from the WNW at 6–12 mph, with the same SSW swell at 3 ft, 16 seconds. Energy stays moderate (432–501). Those afternoon sessions are “good surf conditions” – fine for a beginner or a longboard, but not a standout.
Then from Friday the 10th through Saturday the 19th, it gets rough. Swell drops to 1–3 ft, winds turn onshore or cross-on, and quality goes poor or marginal. A few afternoons with clean cross-off winds, like Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th, but the waves are tiny – 2 ft or less. Energy dips below 200 some days. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The real winner is Monday the 20th. Morning and afternoon both fire: a SSW swell hitting 4 ft, 14-second period, with combined energy of 566 in the morning and 761 in the afternoon. Winds are light to moderate cross-off from the west and WNW – clean faces. That afternoon session is the best we’ve seen all forecast. 4 ft is fine for intermediates, but still manageable for beginners. Crowds are possible at Point Mugu, so expect some company, but the waves are worth it.
So hang in there. Most days are small and ordinary, but Monday the 20th is your day.

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.
