Table - best surf conditions forecast for Point Mugu over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s shaking for the next couple of weeks at Point Mugu.
Right off the bat, it’s not looking like a classic stretch. The waves are on the small side most of the time, and we’ve got a lot of days where the wind is just a bit messy. The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (anomaly of 3°F), so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The real standout comes much later, on Sunday the 19th and into Monday the 20th. That’s your window. We get a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the West and Northwest, and the swell straight out of the SW (the optimum direction for this spot) is hanging around 2ft to 2ft with a solid 16 to 17 second period. That is good news. That long period groundswell will wrap in nicely at the point, giving it shape and push. The combined swell energy is moderate (362), so it’s got some life to it. This is the best call of the whole outlook – consistent, clean, and on the money for Point Mugu.
Before that, we’ve got a lot of average to poor conditions. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th offer the best of the early week with some clean-ish cross-off winds and waist-high swell (3ft to 3ft, SSW, 16-18 second period) and moderate energy in the 432-512 range. But it’s a bit marginal for a true standout. From Thursday the 9th through to around the 16th, it’s mostly onshore, small, and weak. There’s a glimmer on the morning of Friday the 17th when it goes glassy with just a tiny 1ft SW groundswell (period 19 seconds!), but that’s pretty gutless (energy 178) and more of a longboard cruise than proper surf. The stretch from the 11th to the 14th is particularly grim – small, weak, and wrong wind.
So, to wrap it up: the early week is just okay, the middle is a write-off, and the light at the end of the tunnel is Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. That’s your target.
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.
