The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Faria.
The outlook for Faria is a long, flat stretch with very little to get excited about. The wave energy starts off moderate but quickly drops away, and the wind is never in a good spot for clean waves. It's a tough forecast for the next couple of weeks, honestly.
The first few days, starting Wednesday July 29th, actually have some pulse. The swell is coming from the SSW at 2ft with a 16-second period, which is proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (451) but the wind is straight onshore, SW at 6 mph. It's clean enough in the morning for that small, long-period stuff, but it's marginal. That long period means it'll be better at the point, but the wave heights are tiny. The water temp is around average for this time of year.
From Thursday July 30th onward, it gets worse. The swell drops even more, and the wind shifts to a cross-onshore direction, making it choppy and messy. By the weekend, we're looking at swell heights barely hitting 3ft, with period dropping way down. The energy is in the double digits and low triple digits, which is nothing. The wave comment just keeps saying "poor surf conditions." This continues all through the first week of August and into the second week.
There are no standouts here. This is a classic summer flat spell for Faria. The best option, if you are desperate, would have been the Wednesday morning of July 29th, with that 2ft SSW groundswell and light onshore breeze. But it's small, and that onshore wind is never good.
For the rest of the 16 days, the combined energy stays weak, usually between 50 and 200, and the wind is constantly from the SW or WSW, onshore or cross-onshore. The swell is too small and the wind is too wrong. There are long gaps here of several days where there is simply no surf to recommend. Looks like a good time to clean the board or go for a paddle.
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.
