The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Faria. I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and sad. We've got a long stretch of days where the ocean just isn't giving us much to work with.
The water is sitting at about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. From the 7th right through to the 8th of September, you're looking at tiny swell and choppy conditions. Nothing worth paddling out for. Then from the 9th all the way until the 18th, it's a real downer – we're talking waves under 3 ft, mostly with light onshore breezes that are killing any chance of a clean face. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly bouncing around in the mid-to-low hundreds (like 128 to 236), which is telling you there's just no push.
The only time anything even gets our attention is around the 18th and 19th of September. On Friday the 18th afternoon, we see a jump to 5 ft, but it's a short-period wind swell from the west (6 seconds) and the combined energy hits 273 – still only moderate. Saturday the 19th morning actually has a bit of hope with the same 5 ft height and a slight breeze from the south-southwest, making it just about rideable if you're desperate, but it's messy and cross-on. For a break that's a beach and reef setup like Faria, this is more interesting for the kite surfers than for a traditional paddle session.
Honestly, there's no standout here. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves. If you’re itching for a paddle, Saturday the 19th morning is your best bet, but keep expectations in the gutter.
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.
