Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a bit of a slow start on our hands, but there's some real potential brewing if you're willing to wait. The water is sitting at 65°F at Point Mugu, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice little bonus for the early sessions.
The first real chance to get wet isn't ideal. Friday, the 10th, we're looking at small 3ft SSW swell with a super long 16-second period. The combined energy is weak (285) and the wind is cross-on, so it's a bit of a scratchy session. You'll get a wave, but it’ll be a bit of a fight.
Saturday, the 11th, is pretty much a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions. We're in a bit of a flat spell through the middle of the week. The swell drops right off to 1ft. There are some clean windows with cross-off winds on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, but the wave energy is just too weak (129-164) to get excited about. It's a true knee-paddling session.
Now, hold on for a minute. The outlook starts to get interesting as we head into the second week. Saturday the 18th shows a pulse of 2ft SSW swell with a solid 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 296, and the afternoon gets clean with a light cross-off breeze. That's a proper surf window for a longboard or a fun fish.
The real standout, though, is the final weekend. Saturday the 25th of July. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We're looking at a solid 5ft to 5ft SSE to S swell, with a 15-second period. The energy is pumping hard, hitting 1120 in the morning and 1068 in the afternoon. The morning has a light cross-shore breeze, and the afternoon turns clean with a cross-off wind. This is a proper groundswell – long period, real power. The Point Mugu peak will be the pick, handling that long interval far better than the open beach. It's still a manageable size for a good intermediate, but there's enough push there for the experts to have some fun. Don't sleep on the 25th.
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.
