Table - best surf conditions forecast for Faria over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what Faria's got for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a tough one. We're staring down a long stretch of small, weak waves and it's going to test your patience. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for isn't until Saturday, the 18th, so the start is a total washout.
The water's sitting about a touch warmer than normal for the season, around 64°F, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
From now until Friday, the 17th, don't bother. We're talking tiny swell, mostly under 2 feet, with short, weak periods. The wind is a mixed bag of light breezes, but the wave energy is pathetic (138 in the early windows). It's all "poor surf conditions" – a real bummer.
Things finally show a pulse of life on Saturday, the 18th. The combined energy jumps up (279 on Saturday morning), with a 2ft to 2ft S swell pushing in, with a period around 12-13 seconds. The offshore direction at Faria is NE, and we're getting light cross-onshore breezes, which isn't perfect, but it's enough to make things "marginal" rather than a total loss. Expect small, weak waves, but at least there's some shape. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep that in mind.
The standout – such as it is – looks like Sunday, the 19th. The morning and afternoon both offer offshore SW winds (blowing onshore from the NE perspective, so actually clean from the land) with light breezes. The swell drops a touch to about 2ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 17 seconds, and the combined energy is the highest we see (306). This is proper long-period groundswell. For a beach and reef setup like Faria, that long period can mean the waves break a bit too straight and make paddling out tricky between sets. But with clean wind and that energy, we might get some surprisingly fun, well-shaped runners for the confident surfer.
The rest of the second week from the 21st onward is back to the same story. Small swell (2ft to 3ft), decent periods, but the scores are all poor, and the energy drops off again. A few days see onshore wind picking up, so it'll be choppy. No real second standout to get excited about.
In short, if you're desperate, keep your eyes on Sunday, the 19th. The rest of the time? It's a lake out there, and more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
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.
