The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a dry spell we’re looking at for the next couple of weeks. The forecast is showing a long stretch of small, weak surf with tricky wind, so don’t get your hopes up too high. There’s a brief window of something slightly better, but we’re talking about paddling out for scraps, not glory.
The first real chance of a wave comes in on the morning of Saturday the 6th. We’re looking at Faria (a beach and reef setup) with a 3ft south-southwest swell, period of 14 seconds. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but the combined energy is moderate at 426. It’s still a marginal call, but probably the best of a bad bunch. By Sunday the 7th, the swell lifts a tiny bit to 4ft from the south, with the wind turning light and onshore, which is a bit better for clean faces, but the energy is still not pumping (472). It’s really only for the patient ones.
After that, it’s a long, painful grind. From Monday the 8th right through to the morning of Friday the 18th, every single session is rated as poor. The swell drops to between 0.7ft and 2ft for most of that time, with the combined energy falling into the weak double digits – we’re talking 62, 68, 89. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with moderate breezes making it choppy. There’s a day on the 11th with a 5ft west swell, but it’s a short period windswell of only 6 seconds and a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be a total mess – more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle one.
The only other flicker of hope is on the morning of Saturday the 19th, a week and a half away. A 2ft west swell, period 10 seconds, with light onshore wind. The energy is 200, so still weak, but it’s the best thing in the second week. It’s promising but not something to bank on.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
So, the honest truth is there’s only one real standout: the early morning of Sunday the 7th, with that 4ft south swell and light onshore winds. It’s the cleanest, most rideable option in the whole outlook. For everything else, save your energy or find something else to do.
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.
