The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks down at Faria.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty flat-out bleak for a while. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf that’s not going to give you much to work with. The energy in the water is just sad, mostly in the double digits (71 to 197), which tells you there’s barely anything pushing in. You’re looking at ankle to knee-high slop for the better part of the first week. The swell direction is hanging in the SSW, but it just doesn’t have any push behind it.
The Saturday and Sunday (August 8-9) mornings are clean with light winds, but it's just tiny. The water on Saturday morning is a notable 70.2°, which is a wild 6.7° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s something at least. The vibe is more about a float than a surf.
We’ll see a slight bump in energy during the second week, say from Wednesday the 15th onwards, when the combined energy starts pushing into the 200s and even hits 268 on Tuesday the 18th. The swell stays small, but it’s a bit more substantial, maybe waist-high at best. The winds stay light and variable, with some cross-on conditions, so it’s not going to be glassy perfection.
For the standout, if you’re going to pick a time, that Tuesday the 18th morning has the most energy (268) with a clean, light offshore wind. It’s still only 1.6ft of swell, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The long period of 16 seconds means it’ll have some shape to it, but given it’s a beach and reef setup, the long period might not be ideal.
There is one odd little blip on Tuesday afternoon the 18th with a 3.9ft west swell at 5 seconds. That’s just a short-period wind bump, the kind that turns the ocean into a mess. Not your friend.
This is a stretch where the experienced crew might get a few crumbly ones on the reef at high tide, but for everyone else, it’s a skunk. The inconsistency is the story. There’s no real push in the forecast. It’s a period for checking the cams and doing other things.
Hang in there.

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.
