Alright, it’s Rusty here, and I’m sizing up the next 16 days for Point Mugu.
The first week is a bit of a lull. Small, weak swells, and the wind is often cross or onshore, which doesn’t do us any favors. There are a few cleaner moments, but nothing that’s shouting “go.”
The first real sign of life comes Saturday the 18th. The morning has a clean 2ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period, and light offshore cross-off wind. The energy is moderate at 283. It’s a small wave, but it’ll be clean and glassy. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 65°.
Monday the 20th afternoon shows a bit more push, with a 2ft SW groundswell (16s) and 293 energy under clean, light winds. A solid session for the small-wave gear.
The real standout is the weekend of the 25th. Saturday the 25th morning is the peak. A 4ft SSE swell, with a 14-second period, cranking out a strong 864 energy reading. The wind is clean and cross-off, so the waves will be well-groomed. The direction is a bit off the ideal SW, but the size and energy make this the best of the forecast. It’s getting a bit big for beginners, and the crowds will be there, but for the experienced, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon is still good, but the wind picks up a bit.
So, a slow start, then a big payoff at the end of the window. Lock in the 25th morning.

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.
