The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Faria.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. From now through the first week of September, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly onshore. You’ll see some long-period groundswell rolling in, but with heights barely scraping 2ft and periods up to 19 seconds, that’s a lot of energy for very little wave. The combined wave energy sits mostly between 199 and 400 (moderate), but it’s all messed up by the wind. It’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing.
Now, if you’re really desperate for a paddle, Sunday the 30th of August morning is the first time we see a score worth mentioning. Swell is 2ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and the wind is light and onshore. The combined energy is 328 (moderate), but it’s still only a marginal call. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s better than nothing.
The real standout, and the only one worth setting an alarm for, comes on Monday the 7th of September. Monday morning at Faria, we get a crazy rare moment of glassy conditions – wind goes dead calm, just a slight air. Swell is tiny, only 1ft from the SSW, but with a 15-second period that gives it a little push. The combined energy is 157 (weak), but with glass. Not much size, but if you want clean little runners on a longboard, that’s your window. The rest of that week stays bad – cross-on winds, choppy.
So to sum it up: almost the whole 16-day window is poor for surfing. The best you’re going to get is that glassy Monday morning the 7th of September, and even then, you’ll be scratching for waves under 2ft. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
Signing off,
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.
