The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Faria over the next 16 days is a pretty grim one. I’ve looked over the numbers, and honestly, there’s not a single session that gets the nod for a proper surf. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, with no real standouts to get excited about. The first recommendation doesn’t even appear until Monday the 7th of September, and even then, it’s a marginal call.

The forecast kicks off on Monday morning the 7th with a small 3ft swell from the S, but the wind is onshore from the WSW at 6 mph. The water temperature is sitting at 70°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual. The combined energy is moderate at 365, but the wave comment says it all: “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” It’s a no-go.

From there, it’s a real pain. Monday afternoon turns choppy with a cross-on breeze, and every day after that just repeats the same story. Through Tuesday, Wednesday, and all the way into the start of the second week, we’re looking at tiny swell – mostly 1ft to 3ft – with periods that are sometimes long (like 17–19 seconds on the 9th and 16th September), but the wind is never truly clean. It’s either cross-on or onshore, and the energy is weak, often dipping below 200 (like 126 on the 9th afternoon or 102 on the 15th). The swell direction swings from S to SW to W, but it doesn’t matter – the quality is shot.

There’s a glimmer of hope in the second week. On Wednesday the 16th September morning, we see a 1ft swell from the SSW with a long period of 17 seconds and light offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph. The combined energy is 165 – still weak. And again on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, we get similar conditions: tiny but long-period SW swells (18–19 seconds) with light offshore winds. But the wave comment for every single one of these is “poor surf conditions.” The energy is too low, the swell too small. Even with a long period, the waves won’t have enough push to form anything worthwhile.

For a spot like Faria – a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the SW swell – the small size and onshore winds are a killer. The crowds are sometimes a factor, but honestly, with this run, I wouldn’t expect anyone out. If you’re a beginner, the swell never tops 3ft, so it’s not too big, but the poor conditions mean it’s not worth the paddle. The longer period swells (like the 19-second ones) are prone to breaking straight on a beach setup, so you’d want a point or reef for those – but Faria’s not that.

The bottom line: there’s no surf to recommend here. It’s a 16-day blank. In a place like this, a run this poor can happen, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the wind, because if it ever swings properly offshore and the swell bumps up a bit, we might get a window. Until then, stay dry.

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.
