The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a proper surf, this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window for Faria is a write-off for anything decent. The swell is tiny, weak, and the wind is all wrong, blowing straight onshore. You’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead.
We kick off Saturday the 12th of September with just 2ft of weak, long-period SW groundswell (combined energy 133). The wind is on it from the SW at 6 mph, so the surface is blown out and messy. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" – and that’s the honest truth. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Sunday the 13th sees a tiny bump to 3ft from the W, still with the wind on it. The period drops to 10 seconds, energy is still low (174). It’s not enough to get excited about. This same pattern of weak, onshore wind and poor surf just keeps rolling through the following week.
There is a slight increase in combined energy around the 20th of September, with the Sunday morning and afternoon showing 242 and 247, but the swell height is still only 2ft from the SW. That’s moderate energy for a tiny wave, so it’s mostly just bump and chop, not proper shape. The wind stays light but onshore or cross-onshore.
Through the second week, it’s the same story: 1ft to 2ft of SW swell, mostly long periods between 14 and 19 seconds, and the wind never gets right. A few sessions show a cross-onshore breeze, which at least isn’t straight on, but the waves are too small to matter. The combined energy stays in the low to mid 100s, which for the size is just weak, crumbly energy.
Honestly, there’s no standout session. No day where the swell, wind, and conditions line up. This is a classic blank run for the area – sometimes the forecasts just don’t deliver. Keep an eye on it, things can change, but right now there’s nothing to paddle for.
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.
