Love it. In the late 1980's friends and I drove down from our base at Hueneme and picked up the surf club flag and surfed. 3 of us on a Saturday and no one else in sight. ... except for a periodic dorsal fin (you know what I'm saying). NMCB-5 "The Professionals"
Early 80s Calleguas creek would pump a bunch of sand out during heavy rains. Summer, the big south swells would hit the sandbar that was created thay created this petfect right point break. It was perfect no matter how huge. They closed the creek If you were caught you were in trouble bc tjis is Pt Mugu naval base on fed govt property. It was a world class wave until they fkd it up. Now ppl can surf the base But not Calleguas
@@tombrown9679 okay give out it’s exact location, once some rando gets there all he can do is watch cause no unknown dude surfing this wave when it good
@Tom Brown RARELY is good here or is even surfable at all. Has to be a big swell, from the right direction, and on a very low and incoming tide. Wind is nearly always onshore and makes it choppy/messy. I caught it once all by myself on a 4-5ft rainy, nearly windless early morning way back when. If it's breaking here, a lot of other places to the north are usually better...but even more crowded. Cheers
Lucky you! Yes, you DID stumble onto an extraordinary surf session that afternoon! Thanks for posting!

My only question 4 yrs later is how did the same guy catch that many waves back to back?!
Imagine how good it was everywhere else.

Is this right below Mugu rock?
No it’s to the left of sycamore rock
It's right here to the east of Point Mugu (the rock, east of the naval base): 34.085975, -119.058479

Just north.
A small inlet bay near where the M60 & .45 range was.
I think it’s called point mugu.
You're right! Thanks!
So today we learned not to get the first wave of the serie
Where's the big waves Tom.
Too much west wind swell mixes in
You mean that's typically the case, thus only occasionally it's good there?

Wrong swell direction. Walled
