The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty flat. We’re looking at a real quiet spell with tiny, weak swell and iffy winds. Don’t expect much action through the first several days. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday, August 14th. The morning session at Point Mugu is looking like a solid call. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 19-second period, giving it some real push (combined energy is 407). The wind is light and offshore from the west, so the surface should be clean. This is a beginner-friendly break, but that long-period swell might make it a bit tricky for the real newbies – it’ll be walling up nicely. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so expect some company.

That slight uptick keeps going into Saturday, August 15th morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, period at 16 seconds, still a decent groundswell (combined energy 515). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but still rideable. Again, Point Mugu is the spot.

Now, if you can hold out, the standout window hits Wednesday, August 19th. The afternoon session at Point Mugu is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 3ft SSW swell, period 15 seconds (combined energy 298), and the wind is a clean 15 km/h offshore from the west. That’s about as good as it gets for this stretch. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and a proper longboard or funboard wave. Get on it.

Thursday, August 20th is also a good one. Both the morning and afternoon have offshore wind, with the swell holding at 2ft from the SSW. The morning sees a moderate breeze, but the afternoon goes light and clean – that’s a solid call for a long session.

After that, we get a bit more wind-affected on Friday the 21st, and by Saturday the 22nd it’s back to small and onshore, so the window closes.

Overall, the best bet is Wednesday, August 19th afternoon and Thursday, August 20th at Point Mugu. It’s not going to be huge, but it’ll be clean, fun, and the best we’ve got.

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.
