The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, let’s get real. We’re looking at Faria from Sunday, 9 August, and it’s a rough start. The first few days are just tiny waves – maybe 1ft – with a long period from the SSW. The energy is low (around 102), and the wind is a light onshore or cross-onshore breeze, making everything bumpy. The water is way warmer than usual at 70°, but the surf is just poor.
This same story goes on for a full week. The swell does pick up a little by the 15th and 16th of August, hitting about 2ft to 2ft, and the energy starts climbing into the 200s, even hitting 263. But the wind is still cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a clean face. It’s a beach and reef setup, so with the onshore wind, this is looking more like a kiteboarding session than a paddle surf.
The one morning that stands out, if you squint, is Sunday, 16 August. You’ve got a 2ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is light onshore. The energy is solid at 263, but the forecast still says poor surf. The stars just aren’t aligned.
Then into the third week, the period drops off hard – down to 9 seconds by the 22nd and 23rd of August. The swell bumps to 3ft on the Sunday morning of the 23rd with decent energy (199), but it’s a short-period wind swell from the West. Same story: light onshore wind, short period, close-outs and chop.
Let’s be honest, there’s no day in this 16-day window that’s worth paddling out for. Faria is fairly consistent, but the wind and swell are just not working together. Keep your board in the truck for now. Forecasts can change, but this stretch is a dud.

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.
