The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Faria. I gotta be straight with you, it's a tough outlook for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a flat spell to start with. The surf is small and the conditions just aren't coming together. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and everything is being marked as poor. There are no standout days here, no real "go-time" windows. The whole 16-day stretch looks like a bit of a write-off, with consistent small waves and poor surf quality hanging around from the very start right through to the end.
The first hint of a pulse is around Sunday the 20th, but even then it's weak. You're looking at a 2ft swell from the SW with a long period of 18 seconds, which is a classic groundswell. The combined energy (265) is moderate, but that long period is tricky for a spot like this. The wind is cross-onshore and a bit choppy, so it's not clean.
The rest of the week offers more of the same – tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. The water temperature is at a very unusual 71°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than average for this time of year.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, the cleanest conditions might be when the wind is light and "on" or offshore, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. For any surfer looking for a proper wave, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a traditional paddle session.
Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a blank run.
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.
