Surfing Pt. Mugu (Base) is something that every surfer should do once in their life. I was lucky enough to surf this break in college a few times. My sister and her Husband are stationed on the Base for 5 weeks before moving to Virginia. I have been awaiting their stay for months and they were finally there just in time for a south swell to hit. You can only surf Base if you are in the Navy or know some one that has a pass that is allowed to bring you on the Base. Every morning my sister had to drive us from the Hueneme Base to the Point Mugu base to surf and be there the whole time in case the Base police asked for IDs. I surfed 3 mornings in a row and probably should have surfed the afternoons as well but spent time going to dinner and an Angels game. The first morning had about 10 photographers on the beach and several pros out in the water. It was a little intimidating especially because the Base is one of the fastest waves in CA. The wave wedges up and throws fast and hard on the take-off. You see someone go over the falls about every 3rd wave. There were a bunch of barrels and some guys doing some inverted rotating airs. My sister offered to take some photos. She took about 300 photos and a few of the good ones are posted above.
