The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Point Mugu. Let’s get into it.
Well, it’s a bit of a slow start for the next couple of weeks. The first real window of surf doesn’t really kick off until the morning of Wednesday, July 30th, but even then it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a bit of a gap with no real recommendations until things start moving again later in the first week.
The main event for the whole period looks to be the afternoon of Wednesday, July 30th. The swell is coming from the SSW at 3ft, with a long 16-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the West at 9 mph. This is going to give us some clean, well-shaped lines. The combined energy is sitting at 868 (moderate), which is the strongest reading of the whole forecast. It’s a standout for quality because you’ve got a solid groundswell, glassy conditions, and the break will handle that long period nicely. The water’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 71°F, which is over 7°F above the average – that's very unusual, so the water will feel like a bath.
If you’re after a bit more size, the afternoon of Thursday, July 31st, sees a South swell bumping up a touch to 4ft, still with a decent 14-second period, and cross-off winds from the WNW at 9 mph. Combined energy is 653 (moderate). It’s not quite the same quality as Wednesday, but it’s a solid, clean option.
The second week is quieter. The most promising day is likely the afternoon of Friday, August 8th. We’ve got a SSW swell of 1ft with a very long 19-second period and cross-off wind from the West at 9 mph. Combined energy is 275 (weak). It’s small, but that long period will give it some push, and the clean wind will make the most of it. Still, it’s more of a long-range might-be than a sure thing.
Overall, if you’re picking one session, make it Wednesday afternoon. That’s the cleanest, most energetic window we’ve got.
Stay safe out there.

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.
