The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Faria over the next 16 days is pretty grim. The finder isn’t giving me a single recommendation – not one. The forecast is a long, flat grind with nothing but small, weak swell and cross-onshore or onshore wind. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, and it adds to the strange, flat feeling.
The entire 16-day window is a washout. The swell is tiny, never getting above 2ft, and the period is all over the place, from 13 seconds up to 19 seconds. That long-period stuff, over 15 seconds, would normally be promising for a setup like Faria – a beach and reef break that’s fairly exposed to a SW swell. But with the wind being consistently cross-onshore or onshore from the S, SW, or WSW, and the combined energy of all swells directed here staying weak (mostly between 73 and 248), it’s just not offering anything rideable. The wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions” and the scores are all zeros.
For a spot that’s listed as fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts. But for now, honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing, given the persistent cross-onshore breeze and lack of any real wave face.
Hang in there, this blank run will pass.

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.
