The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Faria over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The swell energy is there, but it’s not coming together for clean, rideable waves. We’ve got a long, drawn-out period of small, weak swell and choppy conditions. The first real sniff of anything surfable is around Tuesday 28th July, but even then, it’s marginal.
The best of a very average bunch looks like Tuesday 28th July morning at Faria (beach and reef). The swell is a small 2ft from the SW, but the period is a juicy 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate at 406, and with a light onshore breeze, it might just be clean enough for a longboard or a funboard. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are possible, but with this quality, it’ll be quiet.
Any other morning with light winds is also a chance, but the swell is tiny and the direction isn’t ideal. From Wednesday 23rd July onwards, the swell drops even more, with the energy falling to weak levels (91 and below). The wind stays light, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
There’s a very long gap from about Thursday 31st July right through to Thursday 7th August where the surf is pretty much non-existent. The energy is weak, the swell is below 2ft, and the conditions are poor. It’s a proper flat spell.
A slight flicker of energy returns on Saturday 8th August with a 1ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, bringing moderate energy (120). But the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The outlook for the second week is pretty grim. The swell remains tiny, and the energy is weak. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual in a quiet season.
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.
