Table - best surf conditions forecast for Faria over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: the outlook for Faria over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing special, with a flicker of hope right at the very end.
We start off with a real flat spell. From Saturday the 11th of July all the way through to Friday the 24th, the surf is just not happening. The waves are tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore, leaving it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, often under 200 (151 to 175), and the forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions" every single day. It's a proper drought. For a beginner-friendly beach and reef break like Faria (Faria), this is a real bummer. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 64°, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
The only real stand-out, and I mean the *only* one, comes on Sunday the 26th of July. That morning we finally get a bit of life. The swell picks up to 2 ft from the SSW with a very long period of 19 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 351. But the real magic is the wind: it's glassy. Offshore from the SSW at just 3 mph. That will make it clean as a whistle. The forecast even says "expect good surf conditions," which is a massive upgrade from what we've been seeing. This is the one to aim for. Be aware, though, that long-period groundswell like this can make beach breaks close out a bit straight, but Faria's a beach and reef setup, so it could handle it okay. The afternoon sees the wind shift onshore, so the morning window is your only shot.
The rest of the second week, from the 20th to the 25th, is more of the same: small, weak, and windy. The swell direction stays in the SSW to SW range, but the size rarely gets over 2 ft and the energy is mostly in the 150-230 range. The 25th of July morning shows a faint glimmer with a 2 ft SSW swell and energy at 352, but it's still cross-onshore and only rated "marginal." It's not worth the paddle.
So, to sum it up: ten days of nothing, then a very promising, clean, glassy morning on Sunday the 26th of July. That's your one and only window. Get it while it's there.
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.
