The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because I’ve been through the numbers for Faria. Truth is, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water’s running at 70°, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual. You’ll be in boardshorts, but the waves are gonna leave you wanting.
The whole 16-day window looks bleak. The best we get are a few mornings where the swell bumps up to 2 ft, primarily from the south-southwest, with moderate energy readings (around 326 to 428 on the combined energy scale). The problem is, even then, the quality is rated as marginal at best, and the winds are often light and cross-onshore or onshore. For a beginner-friendly spot, these small, messy swells just aren’t going to shape up.
There’s a hint of something on the 3rd of September, with a 3 ft to 4 ft SSW swell and a period around 12-14 seconds, and the energy climbs to 491. But the wind is light and onshore, and the forecast is still poor. It’s a classic case of a bit of size but no quality.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The consistent, clean, rideable waves we’re after just aren’t in the cards. Faria is a fairly consistent spot, so it’s a bit of a bummer to see a blank run like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, you might be better off keeping the board in the car and just enjoying the warm water.

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.
