The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's size up what's coming down the line at Faria over the next couple of weeks. I gotta level with you – the first week or so is a real snoozer. We're talking a whole lot of flat days with onshore wind, nothing worth getting wet for. It's a long stretch of quiet, so don't be in a hurry. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be a comfortable wait.
Things start to show a little pulse around the 27th of August, with the combined swell energy hitting 389 (moderate), but it's still pretty marginal – nothing to write home about. The real standout, the one that's got me perking up, is way out there on Friday the 4th of September. That's when we finally get a clean window. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the east, and we get a long-period groundswell from the SSW at 2ft with a 17-18 second period. That's a proper long-period pulse, which will bring some nice juice and shape, but it's best suited to a point or reef, as those long-period waves can get a bit walled at a beach break. The combined energy is a solid 452 (moderate), and the conditions are looking clean. This is the one to circle on your calendar – it's a long-range call, but it's the best shot we've got.
So, hang tight, get your gear ready for that first week of September, and hope the forecast sticks.
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.
