The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for any kind of worthwhile surf. The only spot on the radar is Faria, but honestly, it's a stretch to call it a recommendation. The data shows a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" right through the entire period.
We've got a bit of a gap here because there's nothing really to get excited about. From Friday the 31st of July all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, the waves are tiny and messy. The swell heights are all hovering around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is mostly a light cross-onshore or onshore breeze. For a beach and reef setup like Faria, that's just choppy, weak, and no good for a proper paddle session.
The water temperature is 70°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual. It's like bathwater, but unfortunately, there's nothing to ride in it.
The combined swell energy is low, mostly in the double digits or low triple digits, like 196 (moderate) on the 31st, but it's paired with a messy 15 km/h cross-on wind. The best of a bad bunch might be the Saturday the 15th of August, with a 1 ft swell from the SSW, a 17-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze in the morning. But even then, the energy is weak (152) and the wave shape is going to be poor. This is honestly one of those blank runs that's pretty normal for the area when the swell windows are shut. Not much to do but wait for the next system.
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.
