The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for Faria. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf ahead, so don’t be rushing to grab your board just yet. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Friday the 14th, and even then, it's a bare minimum kind of day.
The water is running warm, about 70°, which is a solid 7° above the norm for this time of year. That’s a real standout, very unusual for around here.
For the first week, it's all small, weak swell and cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is mostly in the low to mid-100s, which is weak, and the swell heights are stuck around 1ft. The period looks long, 15-18 seconds, but with that size and the wind chop, it’s just not doing anything for us. We’re looking at a solid 5-6 day gap with nothing worthwhile.
Now, the morning of Friday the 14th is the one glimmer of hope. The wind goes glassy, slight air, and the swell bumps up a touch to 1ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. The energy is still only 162, which is moderate, but those clean conditions are a huge positive. It’ll be marginal, more for a longboard or a foiler, but it’s the best we’re going to see for a while.
After that, things get a bit more active, but the quality doesn’t improve. Through the 15th and 16th, we see the energy climb into the 200s, indicating moderate wave energy, and the swell pushes up to 2ft, but the winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy. It’s still not worth a paddle.
The period stays long, which is interesting. By the 21st, we get a shift with the swell coming from the west, but the period drops to a junky 5-9 seconds, so that’s not going to be any good. It’s just a mess.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, the Friday morning glass-off is your only shot, but it’s not going to be pretty. For everyone else, it looks like a waiting game. Faria can fire, but this forecast isn’t it. We need a proper swell and some offshore winds to get this place going again. Keep the faith, and check back in a few days.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Faria Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Faria provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Faria can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Faria 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 (Faria) 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 Faria 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.
Faria is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Ventura. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ventura. Ventura has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
