The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles per hour. Faria from July 27 through August 11 – nothing worth paddling out for. Wave heights top out around 2.5 ft, combined energy weak to moderate (354–440 range), but every session is poor. Wind is onshore or cross‑onshore, never offshore – light to gentle breeze, but still messing up the surface. Swell direction mostly SSW or S, not the ideal SW. Periods are long (14–21 seconds), but with such small swell and bad wind, it’s pointless.
Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th: 2.3–2.6 ft, onshore, score zero. Thursday 30th and Friday 31st: 2.0–3.0 ft, cross‑onshore, still poor. Saturday 1st August: 2.6 ft, period dropping to 12–13 seconds, energy 235–240. Sunday 2nd: 2.0–2.3 ft, 8 seconds, energy 125–151. After that, it’s tiny – 0.7–1.3 ft for days, energy below 100. The last few days, August 9–11, show a small bump to 1.6 ft, but still poor.
No standout. Faria is usually fairly consistent, but this 16‑day window is a bust. It’s a quiet stretch, but the spot can fire when the swell direction and wind line up. Don’t toss your wetsuit yet – forecasts can change. For now, it’s a no‑go.

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.
