The Lowdown

Alright folks. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table.

We're looking at Faria, a beach and reef setup that's only fairly exposed to the swell. It's going to be a long, quiet stretch. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

The story for the next week and a half is pretty flat. From Friday the 14th through Sunday the 24th of August, we're looking at tiny, inconsistent energy. Swell heights mostly sitting between 1ft and 2.3ft, with periods all over the shop, but the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." The combined energy is weak, often in the 100-200 range, never really getting up. The wind is mostly light but onshore or cross-onshore, which just messes with what little bump there is. Honestly, there's nothing to get excited about here for a paddler. With these conditions, the setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The first tiny glimmer of something comes in on Thursday the 29th of August, but it's still just marginal. Swell bumps up to around 3ft from the S with a 14-second period. The energy gets a little more interesting (416), but the wind is still cross-onshore and the score is low. Not worth rushing out for.

The best of the whole run looks to be Friday the 30th of August. It's still not a classic, but it's the pick. We get a 4.3ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy finally shows some life (704). The morning has a light onshore wind – not ideal but manageable. Given the long period, the waves might be a little shifty and closey at a beach-break like Faria, but it’ll be the most size and push we've seen. It's only a 2/5 rating, so expectations need to be realistic, but if you're itching, that's the morning to look at. Remember this is a fairly consistent break, so it tends not to stay flat forever.

After that, it drops back down. Overall, a pretty lackluster outlook for the next couple of weeks.

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.
