The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Faria over the next 16 days.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and uninspiring outlook for this stretch. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 71°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s strange, but it won’t help the waves. The whole 16-day window is one long blank run of poor surf conditions, so don’t hold your breath for anything worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid gap from now until the end of the forecast with zero recommendations.

Let’s break it down. Starting Tuesday morning, the 15th of September, we’ve got a small 2 ft swell from the W with a period of 9 seconds at Faria – a beach and reef setup. The combined swell energy is weak at 112, and with a light cross-on breeze, it’s just bumpy and unappealing. That same tiny 2 ft hangs around for the afternoon, but the period drops to 8 seconds, making it even weaker and more disorganised.

Moving into Wednesday and Thursday the 16th and 17th, the swell drops to 1 ft. The direction swings between SSW and SW, and periods get long – up to 17 seconds on Wednesday morning. That’s groundswell, but at this size (1 ft), that long period just means long waits between tiny, weak sets. Winds stay light and mostly onshore or cross-on, so the surface is messy. Overall poor.

From Friday the 18th right through to the end of the month, it’s the same story. Swell hangs around 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the SW or SSW. Periods gradually shorten from 19 seconds down to 12 seconds by late September. The combined energy fluctuates between weak and moderate – hitting a high of 252 on Sunday afternoon the 20th (still moderate), but the wind is always cross-on or onshore, so the surface is never clean. The weekend of the 26th and 27th sees the swell drop back to 1 ft with periods down to 12 seconds, and energy barely scraping into triple digits.

The last few days of the month show nothing changing. The 30th of September has the smallest swell of the whole run at 1 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, with a weak energy of 95. Winds are light onshore. No standouts. No good options. This area just isn’t delivering right now.

It’s a flat spell, and with no consistency in decent surf, it’s one of those times to leave the boards at home. Forecasts can always change, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
