The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Faria.
The outlook is pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. There’s a long dry spell before anything remotely rideable shows up. The first real chance is on Thursday the 10th, and even that’s a gamble.
From Friday the 4th through Wednesday the 9th, it’s all small, messy, and cross-onshore. Swell is 2ft to 4ft from the SSW or S, with light to gentle cross-winds. The wave energy is moderate (289 to 457), but the surface is choppy and bumpy. Not worth the effort.
Thursday the 10th morning is the best of a bad lot. We get a glassy, flat-calm window with a 2ft swell from the SW. The period is a very long 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, but the combined energy is low at 251 (weak to moderate). For Faria (beach and reef), that long period could be a bit too straight for the beach, but the reef might clean it up. The water is a notable 70°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
After that, it’s back to poor. Friday the 11th afternoon sees a 5ft W windswell with a short 6-second period and a 12 mph cross-onshore – blown out. Sunday the 13th afternoon has a 6ft W swell, again short period and cross-onshore. That’s kiteboard territory.
The second week, from Monday the 15th on, is all tiny – under 3ft – and cross-onshore. The wave energy drops into double digits, as low as 82 (weak energy). No real options.
So, the only true standout is Thursday the 10th morning. Glassy, clean, and small. That’s your shot.
Rusty.

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.
