The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Faria’s got lined up for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with ya, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating outlook for a long stretch. You’re looking at a solid week and a half of tiny, weak surf and mostly messy conditions begging for a better day. The water’s sitting real warm, running about 4° above the norm for this time of year.
The first real sign of life doesn't pop up until Tuesday, August 25th, which is over a week out. That’s when we finally see a pulse of S swell bumping up around 3 to 4ft. The energy finally climbs into a moderate range. It’s not pristine, with a cross-on breeze messin’ with the face a bit, but it’s the most grunt we’ve seen. The period is a proper 16 seconds, so you’ve got good groundswell lines with some time between sets.
Into Wednesday morning, August 26th, there’s still a bit of that 4ft S swell hanging around with light winds, so it shapes up as another decent window.
After that, the surf gets small and weak again by Thursday the 27th. Nothing really fires up after that early pulse.
So, your one real standout window is going to be Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th of August at Faria. It’s a beach and reef setup pointing into the SW, and with that long-period S swell, the reef might give you a better, more lined-up wave than the beach. Watch the tide, though. The early morning looks like the cleanest bet.
Rusty.

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.
