The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch. We’ve only got one spot on the radar for the next two weeks, and that’s Faria.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. The first few days aren't offering anything you’d paddle out for. We’re looking at a bit of a waiting game, with a real gap in the surf for the first part of the window. Things stay pretty flat and messy for the first week or so, with the odd bit of small wave energy showing up, but nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping.
The standout, if you can call it that, rolls around on Saturday, July 25th. For a brief moment, we get a bit of a pulse. You’ll see a bump in the swell height to 5 ft, coming from the S, with a moderate energy level (1003). That’s the biggest we’ll see all period. The water here is about 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. But don’t get too excited – the wind is going to be a problem. It’s a cross-on shore from the WSW, and that’s going to tear it up. It’s not going to be the clean, peeling line you’re dreaming of. If you’re a beginner, that size is already pushing it, and with the chop, it’s going to be a handful. Honestly, for a beach and reef setup with that wind, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than a paddle surfer.
The rest of the forecast is a bit of a long slog. There’s another small window around Sunday, July 26th, where the swell period jumps up to 19 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. That usually means better shape, but also longer lulls between sets. The swell is tiny at 2 ft, so it’s more of a hint than a wave. The wind is offshore, so it’s glassy, but the size just isn’t there to get a proper ride.
The crowd situation at Faria is listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few locals out, but with this kind of forecast, you’ll probably have the place to yourself because everyone else will be on the beach with a beer.
So, bottom line: it’s a lean fortnight. The only real suggestion is to keep an eye on that Saturday the 25th for a bit of size, but don’t expect perfection. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
