Table - best surf conditions forecast for Point Mugu over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty quiet 16-day stretch for Point Mugu. The first few days are a write-off, so don't bother paddling out just yet. We’ve got a long gap through the first week with nothing really worth mentioning. The real hope is for the second weekend, where we finally see some pulse, but it's a long way off.
The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal, about 65°, which is a nice change for this time of year.
The first real chance of a wave comes on the 18th of July. Saturday morning will see a 3ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a bit of a mess with light cross-shore winds. The energy is strong (857), but the conditions are marginal. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a WNW cross-off breeze at 12 mph, and the swell stays at 3ft from the SSE. The energy is even stronger (1018), and the waves will be clean. This is the standout of the whole period. It’s a moderate energy swell, but clean conditions at a fairly exposed break like Point Mugu (a beginner-friendly spot) with a good direction from the SSE should make for some fun, rideable waves. Just be aware that crowds are possible here.
19th July (Sunday) keeps the fun going. Morning sees 4ft swell from the S with light cross-shore winds, but the afternoon is where it’s at. The wind goes cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, and the 4ft S swell (13-second period) is good for a beach break. The energy is moderate (602) but the clean conditions mean good surf. This is your second-best bet.
After that, the energy drops away again. The 21st of July Tuesday afternoon has a little 3ft SSW swell with cross-offshore winds, and the 22nd of July Wednesday afternoon looks clean with 3ft SSW swell, but these are small and marginal. The 26th of July Sunday afternoon finally shows a clean 3ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period and cross-offshore winds, giving a bit of hope for the very end of the run.
So, to be straight with you: the first week is a dead loss. The 18th and 19th of July are your best shots, with the Saturday afternoon being the pick of the bunch thanks to that clean wind and solid energy.
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.
