Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
To be honest, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat. There’s a long stretch of small, weak waves with ordinary conditions. The best window doesn’t really open up until the 19th of July, and even then it’s got some trade-offs. We’re looking at a solid gap of about 10 days with nothing worth getting excited about – just knee-high slop and onshore wind.
The only real standout on offer is Point Mugu around Sunday the 19th of July.
We’ve got a pulse of energy coming through on the 19th. The Sunday morning shows a 3ft SSE swell with a 17-second period, pushing combined energy up to 878 (moderate). The afternoon is the real deal though: the swell builds to 5ft out of the SSE, period 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1470. The wind goes glassy, with a slight air and a light cross-onshore breeze. That’s about as good as it gets in this forecast. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The swell direction is SSE, which is a bit off the optimum SW for the break, but the size and energy will still wrap in. With a 5ft swell, it’s a fun size for most intermediate surfers, but beginners might find it a bit much. The long 16-second period means it’s a proper groundswell, so expect long lines and good shape – but it can be a bit straight at a beach break. Point Mugu is a point, so that long period should work in its favour. Crowds are possible here, so be ready to share.
Tuesday the 21st has a small clean-up in the afternoon with a 3ft SSW swell (16-second period) and light cross-offshore wind, energy at 512 (moderate). It’s nothing special, but it’s a clean wave for a cruise.
The 20th of July is worth a mention too – Monday morning has 5ft S swell (14-second period) but it’s cross-onshore and a bit choppy, so it’s not going to be as clean. The afternoon settles a little with 4ft S swell and cross-shore wind, but it’s not the winner.
Overall, tap the 19th of July at Point Mugu for the best session of the forecast. The rest is mostly small and weak.
Rusty.

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.
