The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ll level with you—this outlook for Faria is a dead zone. Over the next 16 days, there’s not a single moment worth calling a surf. We’re looking at a long gap from now all the way through Friday, August 21st, with no recommendations at all.
Let’s get into it. Faria’s a beach and reef break, pretty exposed to the swell, and it’s catching some southwest energy, but the wave heights are tiny—stuck between 0.7 ft and 2 ft. The combined swell energy is weak, ranging from 60 to 256 (256 on the afternoon of the 15th is the highest), but it’s not enough to push anything rideable. The period is long, mostly 13 to 19 seconds, which hints at groundswell, but with these heights, it’s just a bump. The wind is mostly light and cross-onshore, so it’s not helping. On the morning of the 6th, the water’s at 70°, which is 7° warmer than usual—that’s way off the norm, but you won’t notice much if you’re not in the water.
Every entry in the forecast says “poor surf conditions,” and the scores back that up. There’s no standouts, no hidden gems. For beginners, the swell never even hits 5 ft, so it’s safe, but it’s not surfable. For experts, it’s a waste of time. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing if you’ve got the gear, but for paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting.
It’s a quiet stretch for Faria—this area can go dry like this, and forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Hang tight, check back later.
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.
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.
