The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's suss out what Faria's got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty grim start. The waves are tiny and the conditions are all over the shop. We're looking at a long dry spell, with the first proper surfable day not showing up until Monday, August 17th. That's a solid two-week wait with nothing to get excited about.
So, let's jump ahead to that Monday, August 17th. The afternoon brings a bit of a pulse. The swell picks up to 1.6m, coming from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 419 (moderate wave energy), which is the biggest we've seen. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore breeze, so it won't be glassy, but it's doable. The water is about 21°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away with a spring suit or a shorty.
That's the only real highlight over the entire 16 days. Everything else is a write-off. The swell is flat, the winds are onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave quality is poor. If you're desperate for a session, Monday the 17th afternoon is your best shot, but keep your expectations low. For the rest of the time, you're better off waiting for the next forecast to roll in.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
