The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Faria.
Look, I've been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and it's a tough one. For a solid stretch here, we're looking at nothing but poor surf conditions. The water's super warm though—around 71°, which is about 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual, so for that first break, Faria (beach and reef), it feels more like a bath than the Pacific right now.
For the next week, from August 31st straight through to September 6th, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 1ft to 3ft, and the combined energy is weak to moderate (between 107 and 359). The wind is all sorts of wrong—mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the SW and WSW. You'd be wasting your time.
Now, there's a tiny glimmer on the horizon. On Monday, September 7th, things try to turn. We get a solid pulse of 3ft S swell, and the combined energy jumps up to a moderate 387. The wind shifts to a light offshore from the NE, making things clean. Both the morning and afternoon sessions look promising with good surf conditions. It's not big, but that offshore flow will make it a fun little wave. But don't get too excited, because it's short-lived. That one clean day is immediately followed by howling onshore winds on Tuesday, and it goes back to poor conditions.
The rest of that week and into the second week is more of the same. Swell stays weak, mostly 1.0ft to 2ft, with combined energy dropping as low as 54. The wind stays mostly cross-onshore or onshore. There's nothing else that stands out at all. We're looking at a long gap after that Monday the 7th with no real recommendations for days.
So, the only standout here is Monday, September 7th. It's the one day where the stars almost align. Don't expect anything epic, but if you time it right in the morning, you might snag a few clean ones at Faria. It's been a quiet run, and this area can go through these blank spells. Keep an eye on the forecasts; things can change.
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.
