The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Faria over the next couple weeks. I've got to be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty flat and quiet. The models are showing a whole lot of small, weak swell with poor surf conditions across the entire forecast period, so don't get your hopes up for any hero sessions.

## Faria (beach and reef)

Right from the start on Wednesday, August 12th, we’re looking at a tiny 1 ft SW swell pushing through with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is weak at 122, and with a WSW wind blowing 15 km/h straight onshore, the surface is going to be messy. The water temperature here is sitting at 71° – that’s a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual.

We roll into Thursday morning, August 13th, and there's no improvement. Still 1 ft from the SW, period still 16 seconds, but now a light cross-onshore breeze is putting small wind ripples on it. Energy drops to 96. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a light offshore wind, but the swell is still tiny at 2 ft, so it’s not doing much.

Friday the 14th brings a little more energy – 164 in the morning, climbing to 222 by the afternoon – but the swell height is stuck at 1 ft to 1 ft, coming from the SSW with a 15 to 18-second period. The afternoon gets a gentle cross-onshore that will chop things up. Saturday and Sunday follow the same pattern: small SSW swell, light onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and combined energy hovering between 164 and 246, but nothing that’ll get you scrambling for your board.

Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th actually see a consistent light offshore wind in the mornings with the swell still tiny around 2 ft to 2 ft, but the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. The energy sits around 208 to 225, but with that long period (14 to 16 seconds), the waves are weak and fat. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session.

The second week, from Thursday August 20th onward, it’s more of the same. Swells stay under 2 ft, periods are long, and the wind is either light offshore or light cross-onshore. Combined energy drops into the double digits or low triple digits (73 to 156). By the time we hit Sunday August 23rd, there’s a 1.0 ft SW swell with a 19-second period – very long period, but no size to back it up. Energy is only 131.

We run all the way to Thursday August 27th and the story doesn't change. The last few entries show a 1 ft to 2 ft SSW/SW swell with energy creeping to 234, but wind is cross-onshore and there’s cloud cover. Not one single time in the whole 16-day window does the score break zero. Every single forecast is marked as poor surf conditions.

So here’s the truth: there are no good surf options on offer in this 16-day window for Faria. The combination of tiny swell, long periods that don't have any power behind them, and onshore winds means you’d be better off leaving the board at home. If you absolutely have to get wet, the mornings with light offshore wind might give you something knee-high and clean, but it’ll be a long paddle for a very short ride. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area – it tends to be flat for stretches like this.

Stay patient, folks. It’ll come back around.

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.
