The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got brewing for Point Mugu over the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 70°, which is about three degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a real treat for a late-summer session.

The start of the period sees the best fun on offer. Monday the 7th is the standout. Sets coming in at around 5 feet from the south with a solid 13-second period, giving the swell a nice push. The combined energy is pumping at a solid 897 (moderate wave energy), and we’ve got a light cross-off breeze from the WNW at just 6 mph, which will keep the surface glassy and clean. This is a great one for beginners, but with crowds listed as "sometimes" possible, don’t expect it to be empty if the conditions are this tidy.

Tuesday the 8th drops off significantly. Swell is all the way down to around 3 to 3 feet, still from the SSW, but the energy is way lower. The wind stays cross-off and light, though, so the clean conditions will make the smaller waves rideable. The rest of the week from Wednesday the 9th through the weekend is mostly small—waves under 3 feet. The period on Wednesday is long, 16 to 17 seconds, which means lully conditions, but the wave size just isn’t there to get excited about.

We hit a dry spell starting around the 12th and lasting through the middle of the following week. The swell stays under 2 feet for days, with combined energy figures dropping below 200. That’s weak energy and not worth paddling out for unless you just want to float. There’s a brief flicker of longer period on the 14th (18 seconds), but at only around 1 feet, it’s all show and no go.

Things start to get interesting again on Friday the 18th. The swell pushes back up to around 2 feet from the SSW, with a very long 19-second period. Combined energy climbs to 315 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light offshore or cross-off, making for clean faces. The waves are small, but if you’ve got a longboard, the Saturday morning the 19th looks promising before a light cross-shore breeze kicks up.

The final few days, from the 20th through the 22nd, show a slow gradual increase. By Sunday the 20th afternoon, we’re seeing around 2 feet from the SW at 19 seconds, and light offshore winds from the W. It’s clean and fun-sized. Monday the 21st sees the swell size creep up slightly to around 3 feet, with the same long period around 18 seconds. Combined energy hits 401 (moderate wave energy) on the morning, which is the best reading we’ve seen since that Monday the 7th.

Overall, the best and most reliable window is that very first session on Monday the 7th. After that, it’s a stretch of small and weak waves until the last few days of the period, which look clean but still on the small side. For the majority of the second week, it’s a longboard or possibly just not worth the paddle out.

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.

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.
