Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's comin' our way.
We've got a bit of a slow burner on our hands. A solid long-period groundswell rolls in to start us off, but the conditions are a bit of a mixed bag. The standout is Tuesday morning, July 7th, at the Point. We're looking at a clean 3ft SSW groundswell, with a proper 18-second period, pushing some moderate wave energy (529). The water's a touch warmer than normal at 65° and the light 9 mph W cross-offshore breeze will have it looking like glass. This is the window to get a few long, smooth ones. The rest of Tuesday afternoon is a little more questionable with the tide.
The energy sticks around through Wednesday with that same 3ft SSW swell, but the wind gets a bit more crossy. Wednesday afternoon cleans back up with a cross-off again, a solid option. The wave energy stays moderate (432). Thursday sees the swell holding at a similar size, but the wind is a light cross-shore; it'll be a bit bumpier, but still plenty rideable. Friday kicks off with a light onshore breeze, so the morning is a washout, but things settle in the afternoon.
For the weekend, we hit a bit of a flat spell. Saturday, July 11th, and Sunday, July 12th, both see the swell drop to 3ft - 3ft, but the energy is fading (down to 286-324). Onshore and cross-onshore winds make it a bit of a chop-fest. Not worth paddling out for unless you're desperate. The following week gets even smaller and we're looking at a real dry spell from July 14th through to the 18th, with wave heights barely scraping 1ft to 2ft. Weak energy. A proper lull.
There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Looking ahead to Sunday, July 19th, the morning session is looking interesting. The wind goes glassy with a tiny 2ft SW swell. Not big, but clean. Then the real kicker is Sunday afternoon, July 19th. The swell bumps back up to a clean 3ft SW, solid 17-second period, and it's packing moderate energy (407) with a nice cross-off. That's your next proper session to circle on the calendar. The 20th and 21st keep some swell in the water, but the wind and quality are just ordinary.
So the two standout sessions are Tuesday morning, July 7th, and then that Sunday afternoon, July 19th. Get on it.
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.

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.
