The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real about what we’re looking at here. Over the next couple of weeks, there just isn’t any proper surf on offer. The whole 16-day window is basically flat, so we’re looking at a long stretch with nothing rideable to recommend.
Let’s start with Faria, a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed and beginner-friendly. Right now, the water is sitting at a very unusual 71°F — that’s a massive 7°F warmer than average for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie if you even bother paddling out.
From Tuesday 11 August through to Wednesday 26 August, every single session shows poor surf conditions. Swell heights stay between 0.7ft and 3ft, with combined wave energy mostly weak, ranging from 70 up to just 246 (246). The vast majority of energy readings sit below 200, which tells you there’s hardly any push. Periods are often long — up to 19 seconds — but that doesn’t help when there’s barely any height. Most winds are light and variable, often onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s not even clean.
The only tiny blip comes on Friday 21 August afternoon when a 3ft swell from the west with a period of 5 seconds shows up, but that’s windswell, short and weak, with moderate cross-onshore wind — still not worth the drive. Otherwise, you’re looking at a solid blank run from start to finish. No standouts, no hidden gems.
Given the lack of swell and the persistent poor quality, this setup would honestly be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. But for us wave riders, it’s a write-off. Forecasts can change, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
