The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast. It’s been a bit quiet lately, and to be honest, the next week or so is going to test your patience. We’re looking at a pretty long gap of no real action, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board just yet.

The first hint of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t pop up until Saturday the 5th of September, and even then it’s a marginal call. The swell is small at 2ft from the SSW, and while the wind is light, it’s cross-on, which is not doing us any favours. The combined energy is moderate at 303, but the quality just isn't there. It’s more of a "have a look from the car park" kind of day.

Sunday the 6th of September afternoon is where things get interesting. We get a brief window of glassy conditions – the wind drops to nothing from the NNE, which is a major positive. The swell ticks up a notch to 2ft from the S, and the combined energy is a solid 306. For a spot like Faria, a beach and reef setup, this glassy spell will be the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too unusual.

But don’t get too excited. The following week is a real mixed bag. The swell hangs around in the 2ft to 4ft range, but the wind is almost always on it or cross-on. The period on Wednesday the 9th of September drops to a short 10 seconds, and by Thursday the 10th of September afternoon, a short-period 5ft swell from the WNW shows up, but it’s chopped up by a moderate breeze. The combined energy hits 337, but it’s messy. Not one for the log, unless you’re into a battle.

Further out, around Monday the 14th of September, we’re still looking at small 3ft swell from the west with onshore winds. The consistency is fairly consistent, but the quality just isn’t there. There’s nothing here that really screams "standout". The best you’re going to get is that glassy window on Sunday the 6th of September afternoon. That’s your one true moment of potential magic in a long, flat spell.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the sky, and don’t force it.

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.
