The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Faria. I’ve looked over the charts for the next couple of weeks and, to be honest, it’s looking pretty grim. There’s not a single moment in the entire 16-day window where the conditions line up for a decent surf. It’s a long, flat, bumpy run.

Starting Sunday the 16th, we’ve got a tiny, long-period south-southwest groundswell pushing in at 2 ft, but it’s coming in from the wrong direction for this break. The wind is onshore and the report calls it "poor surf conditions." The combined energy reads a weak 173, and it just doesn't get any better. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 70°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year.

Every day following is more of the same. Through the 21st, the swell barely reaches 1 ft with period dropping, and the energy readings tumble down into the double digits – 57 on Friday morning. There is a tiny spike of windswell on the 22nd from the west at 2 ft and a period of 9 seconds, but it's still small and the wind is cross-onshore. The pattern continues with a long stretch of onshore winds, mostly light but from the southwest, which is the worst direction for Faria.

We see a bit more energy building towards the end of the month. On Saturday the 29th, the combined energy jumps to the 292 – 354 range, but the swell height stays at a pathetic 2 ft with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The whole forecast is a bust. With the persistent cross-onshore and onshore winds from the SW and WSW, a beach and reef set-up like Faria is just going to be a messy, choppy shorebreak. Honestly, with the wind and the small, weak swell, this would be more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.

Look, when there are no decent waves for two straight weeks, that's the reality of this spot. The forecasts can change, and we might get a lucky window, but right now there is nothing to chase.

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.
