The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s cut through the noise. Over the next two weeks at Faria, the surf is mostly a no-go. Long flat spells and poor conditions are the story here. Water temp is 70°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual – that’s a big warm anomaly for this time of year.
Starting Sunday August 23rd and running through the end of the month, waves are 1ft to 1ft at best, combined energy is weak to moderate (between 59 and 149), and the wind is generally cross-onshore or onshore. It’s small, messy, and not worth paddling out.
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August bring a slight bump – waves around 2ft, period 15-17 seconds out of the SSW, combined energy in the 300s. But it’s still only “marginal” quality with light onshore wind. Nothing special.
From Monday 31st August to Wednesday 2nd September, it’s back to tiny 1ft to 2ft waves. More of the same.
The one bright spot is Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th September. Waves sit around 2ft to 2ft, but the period jumps to 19-21 seconds – that’s a true long-period groundswell. Combined energy hits 470 on Friday morning, which is moderate to strong. Wind is light offshore, even glassy early Friday. This is the best window, but still only “marginal.” The long-period swell might make it fat and straight at Faria’s beach-and-reef setup. Friday 4th September morning is your best call.
After that, it fades back to 2ft to 2ft with cross-onshore wind. The final entry on Monday 7th September afternoon shows 2ft, SSW 16 seconds, combined energy 190, and glassy conditions. Clean but tiny.
Bottom line: no standout sessions here. If you’re keen, go for Friday 4th September morning or Monday 7th September afternoon for the cleanest conditions. Otherwise, save the energy.
Rusty, out.

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.
