The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Faria for the next couple weeks. It's a beach and reef break that's fairly exposed to the southwest. Crowds can be a problem sometimes, so be ready for that.
Water temp is about average for this time of year. But the waves? Man, it starts off dead. Thursday July 16th through Saturday July 18th is a total write-off – ankle-biters with weak energy (a reading of 157) and an onshore breeze. Don't bother.
Finally, on Sunday morning, July 19th, we get a little bump. A south swell shows with 3ft faces, a longer 15-second period. Combined energy climbs to 471, so there's some weight there. The wind is light but onshore, so it's a bit messy. It's the only session that's even close to rideable, but it's far from clean.
The rest of that week and into the next, through July 31st, is just small and sluggish. Swell stays between SSW and S, heights from 2ft to 3ft, with these long, drawn-out periods (14-19 seconds) that make it fat and hard to connect. Combined energy peaks at 657 on Saturday July 25th morning, but it’s still onshore wind. For a spot like this, that long-period groundswell just doesn't stand up well.
Overall, you're looking at a long flat stretch. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when the swell window dries up. A kite surfer might find something fun in the cross-breeze, but for a regular surfer, it's a waiting game. Your best shot, and it's a slim one, is Sunday July 19th morning. Keep the wax soft and the hope alive.

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.
