The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Faria over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a quiet run. The forecast is peppered with days of poor surf conditions and marginal calls, so don’t get your hopes up for anything firing. The first few days are a write-off, with small, messy swell and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. We’ve got a gap of several days with no real recommendation to start.
The first bit of hope comes around Tuesday, July 27th, and even then it’s only marginal. The morning will see a light cross-onshore breeze, but the afternoon might offer a tiny window. The swell is a small 2ft from the SSW, with a period of 19 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, which for a beach-and-reef setup like Faria can mean it breaks a bit too straight and fat. The combined swell energy is moderate (613) though, so it has some push. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The wind is mostly light, which is a positive, but the swell is just too small and inconsistent to get excited about. The best of the bunch, if you’re desperate for a paddle, might be the afternoon of Friday, July 31st. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft from the S, with a period of 15 seconds, and the combined energy ramps up to strong (736). But it’s a cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be a bit choppy and messy. It’s marginal, not clean.
After that, early August drops off a cliff. The swell goes small and weak, with energy dropping below 200. The wind stays light, but the waves just aren’t there. The whole run is a bit of a dud for paddle surfing. Given the conditions, if you’ve got a kite, this setup might actually be more interesting than trying to get a surfboard out there.
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.
