The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. It’s been a tough stretch out at Faria (United States), a beach and reef set-up that’s beginner-friendly when it’s good. But right now, it’s not good. The first recommendation we get isn’t until Wednesday the 5th of August, and even then… it’s a tough watch.
The whole 16-day window is essentially a write-off for decent surf. We’ve got a persistent run of tiny, weak swell. The combined energy of all swells directed here is in the low to moderate range, mostly between 55 and 205, with the biggest push coming around the 15th and 16th of August when it hits 204 to 255, but that’s still weak for any real punch. The swell heights hover around 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the SSW or SW. On the 20th of August, we see a 4 ft swell from the west, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, so it’s just messy.
The wind is a constant issue. Mornings often bring a light offshore breeze from the SW or WSW, which is nice for the surface, but the wave energy is just not there. Most afternoons get chopped up by cross-onshore winds, making it even more of a struggle. The consistent theme is “poor surf conditions” across the board.
Standout? There isn’t one. Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, the afternoons from the 15th of August onward start to show a bit more wind and a little more bump, but for a paddle surfer, this is a blank run. The break is fairly consistent by nature, so it’s a bit of a shock to see nothing worth a paddle. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say save the wax.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.

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.
