The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s dig into the local outlook for Faria. Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a lean stretch. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long gap with nothing good to chase, and even when a little bump tries to show, it’s not working out.
So, looking at the whole picture: we’re starting on Sunday the 26th of July with some small, messy energy. A weak SSW swell around 2ft is coming in, but the wind is cross-on from the WSW, making it choppy and poor. The water temperature is a notable 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over five degrees above average, so pretty unusual for a dip.
There’s a bit of an upward tick on Thursday the 30th of July, with the swell picking up to about 3ft from the south, but the period drops to 14 seconds. For Faria, a beach and reef setup, that shorter period means less shape. The energy is moderate, but the surf quality is still marginal at best, and the wind stays onshore. Friday the 31st offers a similar 3ft south swell, but again, it’s borderline.
Honestly, the only real stand-out window comes around Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July. The swell direction from the south is a good match for Faria’s optimum SW direction, but the constant onshore or cross-on winds from the WSW keep things messy. There’s no clean, glassy session in sight.
After that first week, the surf drops right off. From Saturday the 1st of August onward, you’re looking at tiny swell—3ft down to 0.5ft—with weak energy. The wind stays problematic, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” We’ve got a real dry spell from about the 1st through the 10th of August, with nothing worth paddling out for.
To put it plainly: if you’re desperate, maybe poke around Thursday morning the 30th or Friday morning the 31st when the swell is at its biggest and the wind is just onshore rather than cross-on, but don’t expect any gems. For everyone else, this is a good time to clean the wax off your board and wait for the next run.
Keep your chin up, it’s not always this quiet.

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.
