The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line.
Right off the bat, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell with a lot of cross and cross-off wind, making it tough to get excited. The best bet in the whole 16-day window is going to be the first morning on offer, and then a couple of afternoons over a week away that might just save us.
Friday, July 31st – Morning is the standout. Point Mugu is showing a small but clean 2 ft SSW swell, with a very long 15-second period. That’s groundswell energy, and it’s got a nice combined energy of 419 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which is a major positive. The water temp is about average for this time of year. For a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent, this is the best we’ll see. Expect some crowds though, as it’s a popular spot.
The rest of the weekend and the following week are a write-off. We’re talking tiny, 1 ft to 2 ft swells with weak energy (often under 100), and the wind is either cross or a bit onshore, keeping the surf poor. There’s a solid 4-5 day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Saturday, August 8th – Afternoon finally shows some life. A 2 ft SSW swell, with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 270 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze. The size is still small, but the consistency and cleanliness will be a big step up from the week before.
Then there’s another gap before Wednesday, August 12th – Afternoon, which offers a similar setup: 2 ft SW swell, 17-second period, clean cross-off wind, and a combined energy of 312 (moderate). Again, small but clean.
Saturday, August 15th – Morning is the last call, with a 3 ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, giving a combined energy of 381 (moderate). The wind is light cross, but the forecast says it’s marginal. That one is a promise but a bit less certain.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, get out Friday morning. The rest is a long, slow grind until the second week of August, where we might get a few clean, small windows. Don’t expect any power, but if you’re after a longboard or a fun log, that’s your window.
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.
