The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The models are showing a pretty grim stretch for Faria. We’re looking at a solid run of tiny, weak surf with poor conditions dominating the forecast. It’s one of those times where you might want to leave the board in the car and find something else to do.

We’ve got a long gap of no real surf on the menu for the next week and a half. The swell directions are all over the place, but the size is just not there. It’s going to be a frustrating wait.

Looking at the first few days, Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are basically flat. We’re seeing swell heights around 1ft with weak energy, only around 96 to 116 in the combined energy readings. The wind is light but mostly cross-onshore, and the water is going to feel much warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a bit of a silver lining I guess. The first break I’ll mention is Faria (Ventura). Water temp is sitting at 71°, a solid 7° above normal, which is super unusual.

Moving through the weekend, Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th stay tiny. Swell heights bump up to a meager 2ft to 2ft, but the wave comment is just "poor surf conditions". The wind stays light, with that cross-onshore tendency, especially in the afternoons, making things choppy and messy. The energy is moderate, climbing to around 247 on Saturday afternoon, but for this kind of break, it’s not doing anything for us.

The pattern doesn’t change much into next week. From Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 26th, we’re stuck in that same loop: small swell, poor quality, light winds. The periods drift around the 14 to 16 second mark, which is decent, but it’s not making any difference with the lack of size. There’s one little pulse on Sunday the 23rd with a 19-second period, but it’s still only 1ft, so it’s a tease. The energy stays moderate, mostly in the 100 to 200 range, but it’s all for nothing when the waves are that small.

The one slight blip is Monday the 24th of August. The afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the W with a short 5-second period. That’s just wind chop, and it will be cross-onshore and messy. Not worth getting excited about. There’s also a period around the 24th to 27th where the swell is a bit more consistent, but the quality is still awful.

Honestly, there’s nothing here that qualifies as a standout. It’s a blank run. Faria is a beach and reef set-up that’s fairly consistent, but even its consistency can’t save this forecast. With this kind of weak, wind-affected surf, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.

The long-range stuff into the second week is just more of the same. It’s promising less and less as we go. Keep your expectations low and maybe look for a lake or a pool.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
