Point Mugu

Edit spot

About

This spot is bodyboard heaven! Lotsa speed, lotsa long barrels, and lots and lots of ramps! Very high performance.

Atmosphere:
Really nice place. One of the nicest surf spots I've seen in California. The thing is that the military guys will often ask you to get out of the water for a while until they're done bombing near the area. Just listen to them and keep checking back to see if you can jump back in.

Additional Info:
Bring a full suit and some food. Don't forget water for rehydration and rinsing off. The lefts absolutely go off! Rights are an option but lefts are wedgey and incredible! Like Pipe when its really doing its thing.
