The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got lined up at Faria.
To be straight with you, this 16-day stretch is a bit of a flat spell. We’re kicking off from Monday the 31st of August, and honestly, the first week has very little to get excited about. For days on end, the swell sits below 2ft, with onshore and cross-onshore breezes messing things up, and the wave energy is weak, mostly sitting between 105 and 272 on the energy scale. The water temp at Faria is about average for this time of year – nothing wild.
It isn’t until Sunday the 6th of September that we see a little bump. On Sunday morning, the swell comes up to 3ft from the south, with a 14-second period, but it’s cross-onshore with some wind ripples. The energy picks up to moderate (545). Still, it’s only looking marginal. By Sunday afternoon, the wind eases and it goes onshore, with a slightly bigger 4ft south swell.
The best chance in this whole period looks like Monday the 7th of September. The swell jumps to 4ft from the south, with a period of 14 seconds and solid wave energy at 601. Problem is, it’s coming in with heavy rain and a strong east cross-offshore wind of 34 mph. That wind will hold the waves up, making for clean faces, but that’s some wild weather. The swell direction is from the south, which is fine, though Faria prefers an optimum from the southwest. It’s a beach and reef set-up, so this is really for the experienced crew – the 4ft is okay, but that wind will groom it for those who know what they’re doing. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
After that, it fades fast. Tuesday the 8th drops back to 4ft with a much shorter 9-11 second period, and it’s messy with cross-onshore wind. The energy drops to 207-379. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday the 15th of September, the swell stays small again, generally 1ft to 3ft, with weak energy and persistent cross-onshore winds.
So, the honest truth? If you’re a paddler, there isn’t one true standout. Monday the 7th of September is the one to watch, but you’ll be dealing with a tropical-style downpour. If you’re into kite surfing, the windier, messier days might be more your thing than mine. Otherwise, it’s a pretty dry run for Faria.
Stay salty.
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.
