The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks around Faria are a total washout. We got a full 16-day window to look at, but it's gonna be a long dry spell.
For the whole stretch, we're looking at small, weak, and ragged conditions. The swell energy is barely a blip, with combined energy numbers mostly in the low to mid double digits, only occasionally touching triple digits (like 149, 222, 244). The forecast is a consistent run of "poor surf conditions" – that’s plain as day.
Starting Thursday the 13th of August right through the first week, we’ve got southwesterly swells bumping in around 1ft to 2ft. The period is crazy long, sometimes hitting 16 seconds or even 18 seconds, which would normally carry some punch, but there's just no size behind it. The wind is mostly onshore or side-onshore from the south and west, blowing 6 to 9 mph, keeping the surface messy. There isn’t a single standout session in there. With this combo of tiny swell and steady onshore wind, Faria’s beach-and-reef setup is looking way more fun for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From the 21st through the 28th of August, the swell fades even more, with wave heights barely scraping 1ft and energy numbers dropping back into the double digits (like 66, 51, 85). A couple of those long-period swells (18-19 seconds) try to show up on the 23rd and 24th, but it’s still just a ripple on the surface.
If you were hoping for a wave, there just isn’t one coming. The consistency rating is "fairly consistent," but it’s been consistently flat. For this area, a blank stretch like this is pretty normal. Things could always change, but right now, the board’s staying in the car.
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.
