The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the waves at Faria (California). I’ve been looking at the numbers, and I’ve got to be honest: the next 16 days are looking pretty rough for any decent paddle session. There’s a stretch of marginal, poor, or just plain flat conditions from the start all the way through the first week of August. That’s a solid 10- to 12-day run of nothing worth getting out of bed for.

The problem is a weak, short-period windswell from the SSW and SW. The swell heights barely poke above 2 ft to 2 ft for most of that time, and the wave energy, while sometimes moderate in the 300-400 range, never really makes for rideable waves. The winds are often onshore or cross-on, keeping things choppy and messy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.

The best-looking day, and it’s only a marginal call, falls on Saturday, August 1st. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the S with a 14-second period, coming with light onshore winds. The combined energy is moderate, but it’s still a “marginal” call. For a beach and reef setup like Faria, a longer period S swell can sometimes be a bit too straight for the beach, but it could offer a few cleaner lines than the rest of the junk. The calm breeze is a positive, but don’t expect any standouts. The crowds are “sometimes” an issue here, but with this quality, it’s likely just a few die-hards.

Honestly, with the consistently poor surf quality, the persistent onshore flow, and the small waves, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the window. The late afternoons on the 5th and 6th of August are just flat (1 ft) with the weakest energy you’ll see (around 65-100). It’s a dry spell, and for this area, a blank run like this is more normal than exciting.

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.
