The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Point Mugu. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows of clean conditions to get excited about.
We start off the period with a few small, clean days. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild there. The first highlight looks to be Saturday the 5th of September. We’ve got a clean, cross-off wind in the afternoon with a 3-foot swell from the SSW. The swell is running a long period of 16 seconds, which is classic groundswell energy, and the combined energy is moderate (726). It’s a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but crowds are possible, so get in the water early.
Sunday the 6th sees a bump in size, with waves up to 5 feet from the S. The period drops to 14 seconds, but the energy jumps up to moderate-to-strong (1022). The morning is a bit blown out with a cross-on wind, but it’s still worth a look if you’re keen.
The real standout of the whole forecast though, is Monday morning the 7th of September. We’ve got a 6-foot swell from the S, with a solid 13-second period and strong combined energy (1124). The wind is a light, clean cross-off, so the waves will be holding up nicely. This is a good size for the point, and the clean conditions make it the best session on offer.
After that, the surf slowly winds down. Tuesday the 8th still has some decent 5-foot to 6-foot sets with clean cross-off winds, but the energy is starting to ease. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell drops to 4 feet, though it’s still clean. From Thursday the 10th onwards, the surf gets small and inconsistent. There’s a gap of several days with very little to recommend, with tiny waves and often onshore or cross-shore winds. The period eventually picks up again towards the end of the second week, but the swell height stays below 2 feet, making it only really interesting for a longboard or a paddle out on a calm day.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Monday morning, September 7th at Point Mugu, with clean offshores and a solid 6-foot S swell. Don’t sleep on Saturday afternoon either, if you want a mellower, cleaner session.
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.
