The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up: the next 16 days at Faria are lookin’ pretty grim. There’s surf, sure, but it’s just not coming together for a proper paddle session.
Right from Friday morning the 11th, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the southwest with a long 16-second period. The combined wave energy is weak at 141, and the wind is blowing directly onshore from the WSW at 6 mph. It’s messy and small. The water temp is a crazy 71°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s seriously unusual, but it’s about the only thing going for it. That poor pattern sticks through the weekend, with the swell staying around 1ft to 3ft, mostly onshore wind, and no scores to speak of.
We grind through the following week. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th see a bit of a westerly bump, but the period drops to a weak 8-9 seconds, and the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore, leaving the surface choppy. The energy gets up to a moderate 220 on Sunday the 13th, but with onshore wind and that short period, the waves are gonna be fat and weak. From the 16th through to the 19th, we’re getting long-period pulses from the SSW and SW (14–18 seconds), but the heights are pathetic—1ft to 1ft mostly. For a beach-and-reef setup like Faria, these long-period groundswells are wasted without any size.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 20th. The afternoon sees a score of 1 out of 10, with 2ft from the SW at 18 seconds and light onshore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 290. But it’s still tiny and marginal.
The truth is, for the entire 16-day window, there’s not a single standout session. The swell never gets over 3ft, the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is rated as poor every single day. For a fairly consistent break, this is a long blank run. If you’re desperate, the 2ft to 3ft pulses on the 13th and 14th might give you something to bob around on, but don’t expect any shape. Honestly, with this setup—small, weak swell and constant choppy conditions—Faria looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.
Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
