The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Faria.
To be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf that’s not really gonna get the heart pumping. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first recommendation isn't until the 23rd of July, so we've got about a ten-day gap of no real surf to speak of. Before that, it's all tiny 1.0ft to 3ft waves with a whole lot of cross-onshore wind making things choppy and messy. The energy is weak to moderate at best, with values mostly in the 100s (131-257). Not worth paddling out for.
Now, come the 23rd of July we finally see a bit of a pulse. The swell ticks up to 3ft from the S on Thursday morning, with a period of 14 seconds. The wind is light and cross-onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so it won't be glassy, but the small wind ripples are manageable. The combined energy jumps to 346 (moderate). It’s still only a marginal call at best. The standout, if we have to pick one, is the Thursday afternoon session on the 23rd. The swell hits 3ft from the S, period at 13 seconds, and the wind swings onshore from the SW at 6 mph. The energy climbs to 442 (moderate). It’s not going to be epic, but those light onshore winds will clean it up a bit. Faria is a beach and reef setup, so with a longer-period S swell like this, it'll be a bit more lined up, but it's nothing to write home about.
Into the 24th of July, Friday morning still has that 3ft S swell with a 14-second period and light onshore winds. The energy hits 452 (moderate). But by the afternoon, the wind goes cross-onshore again and the quality drops.
After that, it fades back into the small stuff for the rest of the run. The 26th has a long-period 1ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period and 306 energy, but that's tiny. Overall, for these two weeks, there’s no real fire in the forecast. The best bet is probably the Thursday afternoon and Friday morning of the 23rd and 24th for the most size and moderate energy, but keep your expectations low. It's not a blank run that's abnormal for the area, just a quiet period.
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.
