The Lowdown
### Imperial
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. The long-range look for Faria is a slow start, but there’s a sweet little window of clean surf if you wait it out.
From Tuesday, September 1st through to Friday, September 5th, it’s a total washout. The swell is tiny, just 1 to 2 feet, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The water is a crazy 71°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only thing worth noting. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate – values between 102 and 453 – but with the wind, it’s a no-go.
Then, on Saturday, September 6th, the swell finally shows up. The morning brings a clean 4-foot southerly swell (combined energy 642) with a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a good sign. But the absolute standout is the Sunday, September 7th afternoon. We’re looking at a 4-foot swell from the south, a 15-second period giving it some real grunt, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The combined energy hits 776, which is moderate to strong. This is the best swell of the whole forecast. The size is fine for intermediates, and the clean, glassy conditions will make it smooth as silk. The long period (15 seconds) means the waves will have good shape and power, with longer gaps between sets, making it easier to get out back. This spot is fairly consistent, but it can get *sometimes* crowded, so keep that in mind.
Monday, September 8th morning is still good, with a 5-foot southerly swell (energy 817) and clean winds. After that, it fades fast. By Tuesday, September 9th, the swell drops to 2 feet, and by Wednesday, it’s back to tiny, messy surf. The rest of the second week – from the 10th to the 16th – is a long stretch of poor, small waves with weak energy (often under 200) and onshore winds.
Bottom line: the first week is a dud, but the weekend of September 6th-7th delivers a couple of days of clean, glassy, fun waves. That Sunday afternoon is the one to circle on the calendar.

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.
