The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off, things are looking pretty quiet down here at Point Mugu. We’ve got a bit of a slow start with no real surf to speak of until the weekend. From Wednesday the 2nd right through Friday the 4th, it’s mostly small, weak energy with poor conditions. The swell is tiny, under 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, cross-off – nothing that’s gonna get you excited. The combined energy is weak, so don’t bother paddling out just yet.
Now, Saturday the 5th is where things start to perk up. The morning is still marginal, but by Saturday afternoon, we’re seeing a 4ft S swell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 892. Winds are light and cross-off, keeping things relatively clean. That’s a solid session for a patient surfer.
But the real standout is Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th. Sunday morning starts with a glassy 4ft S swell, and by the afternoon, it’s 5ft, still glassy, with the combined energy hitting 1066. This is premium stuff – clean, fun, and building. Monday morning is the best of the whole outlook: 7ft S swell, 14-second period, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is a strong 1678. That’s excellent, but it’s getting into expert territory at over 8ft. If you’re experienced, this is your window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, things drop off quickly. Tuesday the 8th still has some rideable 4ft S swell but the wind picks up and the energy fades. By Wednesday the 9th through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s back to tiny, weak swells under 3ft, with poor conditions and combined energy dropping way off. There’s a long gap of flat, uninviting surf from the 10th onward.
So, if you’ve got a board, make your move Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th. That’s the best on offer by a long shot. The rest is pretty much a write-off.
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.
