The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got a look at what's coming up for Faria. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you—this is a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty flat for the next two weeks, and I'm not seeing any real standouts to get excited about. We're looking at a long, quiet period.
Let's get into it. The water is a bit of a talking point, though. It's coming in at 69°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual, so don't be surprised if it feels like a warm bath out there.
Starting right now, through the end of August and into the first days of September, the swell is tiny. We're talking about ankle to knee-high waves, mostly from the SSW, with a combined energy reading that's barely scratching the triple digits – it's a weak energy setup. The conditions are labeled "poor" across the board. The wind is mostly light and onshore or cross-onshore, which isn't doing us any favors. It's a bit of a desert out there.
We do see a bit of a bump trying to show up on the 29th and 30th of August. The swell height is predicted to nudge up to 2ft from the SSW, which is still small, but the combined energy jumps into the moderate range. The period is a long 16-17 seconds, which is a proper groundswell setup. For a beach and reef break like Faria, that long period can mean it's a bit tricky, but it's the best we've got coming. The wind on the 29th morning is light, even if it's onshore, and the 30th has a similar light breeze. It's still not great, but it's the only window where you might find a weak, clean little wave.
Bottom line: there's a whole lot of flatness ahead. The only flicker of hope is around the 29th and 30th of August, but even that's a long way out and the forecast confidence is low. For now, it's not looking like a great time to paddle out. This kind of blank run, with few consistent breaks, is more normal for the area.

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.
