Table - best surf conditions forecast for Point Mugu over the next 16 days.


G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty quiet stretch ahead at Point Mugu for the next couple of weeks. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65°F.

Right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are a write-off – weak little 3ft swells from the SSW with poor conditions. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are mostly messy with cross-onshore breezes and tiny surf, though Sunday afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off wind. Still, it’s only 3ft and the wave energy is low (338), so you’re just bobbing around.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th stay small – Monday afternoon gives you a clean 3ft (307 energy), but it’s barely surfable. Tuesday morning is glassy with that 2ft bump from the SSW, but it’s ordinary. The wind picks up Tuesday afternoon, so that’s a miss.

Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th is a flat patch. Swell drops to 1ft, and even with glassy conditions, there’s nothing to push you in. Energy dips to around 136-160. You’re better off doing something else.

Then we get a little pulse around Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Saturday afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the SSE with moderate energy (668), but the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s still marginal. Sunday morning has 4ft from the south (632 energy), but it’s cross-onshore – not great.

The best chance in this whole run is Tuesday the 21st afternoon. That’s your standout. You’ve got a clean 3ft SSW groundswell (period 16 seconds, energy 540) with a light cross-off wind from the west. It’ll be small but clean, with decent shape for a beginner-friendly wave at Point Mugu. Crowds are possible here, but with these dimensions, it won’t be hectic.

After that, Wednesday the 22nd stays marginal, but Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are flat again – down to 1ft. Saturday the 25th afternoon brings a 3ft SW swell with strong energy (657) and clean offshore wind – that’s a promising little burst, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, if you’ve got to pick a session, hit Tuesday the 21st afternoon. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch for Point Mugu.

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.

Point Mugu is 10 km (6 miles) from the city of Port Hueneme. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Hueneme. Port Hueneme has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
