The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be honest from the get-go: the next couple of weeks at Faria are looking pretty flat. We’re stuck in a real quiet spell, so don’t expect any heroics. The first few days are a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak lines and onshore breezes messing up what little there is. You’ll be waiting a while.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Sunday, July 26th. Even then, it’s marginal. We’re talking about a small SSW swell, around 2ft, with a long period of 19 seconds. That long period gives it some shape, but the combined energy is still weak (346). The wind is light and onshore from the SW, which is okay but not glassy. It’s really just a paddle and a hope.
Things pick up ever so slightly heading into the end of July and the start of August. Monday, July 27th is probably the best of a very average bunch. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds, and the energy climbs a bit (368). The wind is light from the SSW, which is straight onshore but clean enough. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the most surfable it’s going to get. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
By Friday, August 1st, the swell tries to push up to 3ft from the S, with a period of 14 seconds and energy hitting 403. That’s the most power we’ll see, but the wind is a problem. Saturday afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy. It’s just not coming together.
After that, it’s a long, slow fade into nothing. From Monday, August 3rd onward, the energy drops below 100, and we’re looking at tiny, weak 0.7ft to 1.0ft swells. There’s a little blip of long-period energy on August 7th, but at 1.0ft and 93 energy, it’s a ghost. The whole stretch from the 3rd to the 7th is a total blank for any decent surf.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a wave, Sunday July 27th is your only real shot. Otherwise, save your wax and wait for a better forecast.
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.
