The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this stretch for Faria is a tough one. We’ve got a long gap of pretty forgettable conditions before anything even starts to look half decent.
We kick off Wednesday the 2nd of September through to Friday the 5th, and it’s pretty much flat or messy. Small swell, around 1ft to 2ft, and cross-onshore winds blowing most of the time. The water’s sitting at 71°, and that’s a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual, you’d notice it straight away. But the energy is weak, with combined energy values bumping around 106 to 161, so honestly, don’t bother paddling out.
There’s a quiet stretch from Saturday the 6th through to Tuesday the 9th where the swell starts to lift a bit—up to 4ft to 4ft—and combined energy climbs into the 400s and even hits 703 on Monday morning. But the wind’s still mucking it up. The real standout comes Sunday afternoon the 6th—that’s your one good window. We’ve got a 4ft S swell at 14 seconds, which is a solid groundswell, but more importantly, it’s clean. Light NNW wind blowing cross-offshore, giving you smooth faces. Combined energy is 473—moderate, but with those conditions, Faria’s beach and reef setup should offer up something rideable. The swell direction (S) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum SW, but it’ll wrap in okay. Just know crowds are likely around here—it’s a fairly popular spot.
After that, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th see the swell dropping back to 2ft to 4ft with poor wind again—mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The energy stays moderate, but it’s not worth chasing.
Then from Thursday the 10th to the end of the period, it fades right off. We’re talking 1.0ft to 2ft, short period swells often under 12 seconds, and combined energy falling below 100 from the 14th onwards. Winds stay light but mostly onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a dead run. The last few days—Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th, Wednesday the 16th, and Thursday the 17th—are basically flat, with tiny 1.0ft to 1ft, weak energy, and nothing to get excited about.
So, if you want the best of a bad bunch, it’s Sunday afternoon the 6th. That’s your call.
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.
