The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for Faria. The forecast is showing a real quiet spell, with no decent surf to get excited about across the entire 16-day window.
We start off with clean skies and light breezes, sure, but the swell is tiny. Saturday morning the 1st of August, we’re looking at a weak 1 ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 13 seconds. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual for this time of year. But that’s where the good news ends, because the wave comment just says "poor surf conditions."
The whole first week runs a similar story. Swell maxes out at a pathetic 2 ft on Sunday the 2nd, with a short period of 9 seconds. The wind is mostly onshore or light cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. By Monday the 3rd, it’s a grind of small, weak, poorly shaped waves. The pattern continues through the 6th and 7th – even when the period jumps to 19 seconds on the 7th, that long-period groundswell is only 1.0 ft, so it’s all show and no go.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. From the 8th of August through to the 16th, the swell remains stubbornly small, mostly between 0.7 ft and 2 ft. The energy climbs a bit, but the swell height is still just 2 ft, so it’s energy without any real wave. Winds are still mostly light, but the onshore or cross-onshore direction keeps it from cleaning up. The 16th Sunday afternoon gets a bit windier, with a moderate 12 mph breeze from the west making it choppy.
Bottom line: Faria is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, but in this 16-day window, there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a blank run. Sometimes the area just goes quiet, and this is one of those times. Hang in there, forecasts can change.

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.
