G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Point Mugu. There’s a bit of a wait before the surf really turns on, but when it does, we’ve got a couple of clean, small days that’ll be perfect for a beginner or anyone wanting a longboard glide.
The first decent wave window kicks off Monday afternoon, July 6th. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit or a shorty will do you fine. Swell is tiny, around 2ft from the SSW, but that period is a very long 20 seconds – proper groundswell energy. Combined swell energy is moderate (422). Because that period is so long, the waves might break a bit straight at a beach setup, but at a point break like Point Mugu you’ll get longer, more drawn-out lines. Winds are cross-offshore from the west at 9 mph, keeping the faces clean. It won’t be big, but it’ll be glassy and fun. Crowds can sometimes show up here, but with these small waves it should be pretty mellow and they’re all beginners anyway.
Tuesday morning, July 7th, builds a touch. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, period still a very long 18 seconds, and combined energy is moderate (531). Clean cross-off winds again from the west. Plenty of push for the size. The morning looks like the pick because the wind will be lightest. Afternoon holds similar, 3ft with cross-off breeze. The best of the whole run is probably Tuesday morning – small but clean, with that long-period energy making every wave count.
Wednesday, July 8th stays consistent. Morning swell is 3ft, SSW, 16-second period, combined energy 512. Winds shift to a lighter WSW at 6 mph, cross-off and glassy. Wednesday afternoon is the same deal, 3ft, light WNW wind. This stretch from Monday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon is where the score is at.
Then things get messy. Thursday July 9th sees a cross-shore wind and the wave quality drops to marginal – still surfable if you’re keen, but bumpy. Friday July 10th through to the end of the second week is mostly onshore wind and poor conditions, with swell dropping below 2ft. There’s a brief spike on Saturday July 18th where the swell picks up to 3ft from the SSE with very long 18-second period and combined energy jumping to strong (629), but the wind is onshore (SSE), making it a choppy mess. That one is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Overall, the standout window is Monday afternoon July 6th through Wednesday afternoon July 8th. Tuesday morning, July 7th is the pick of the bunch: clean cross-off wind, waist-high groundswell, and that long period doing the work for you. A solid session for a learner or a cruiser.
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.
