The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through the data and talk about what's actually happening at Faria.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch ain't looking great. We’ve got a long gap of nothing good to start with. The first real action worth paddling out for doesn’t even pop up until Friday the 4th, and even then, it’s marginal at best. For the first few days, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the surface all bumpy. The combined wave energy on Thursday the 3rd is sitting at a weak 153, and it doesn't get much better for a while.
The best of a pretty flat deck looks to be on Sunday the 6th. Faria will see a modest bump in swell, 3ft from the S, and crucially the wind swings light and onshore from the WSW. It's not perfect, but it’s the cleanest looking window we've got. The water temp is a very unusual 70° right now, which is a whopping 6° warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a bath! The combined energy climbs to a moderate 454, which gives those little lines a bit of push. It’s still a beginner-friendly height, but the S swell direction here at a beach-and-reef setup isn't hitting its optimum SW direction, so don't expect perfection.
After that, the outlook gets pretty grim. We have a run of days from Tuesday the 8th through to the end of the window where the surf quality is just poor. Winds stay mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the height hovers around 1ft to 3ft. The combined energy drops back to weak levels, often under 200. There are short periods of longer-period swell (like 21 seconds on the 17th and 20 seconds on the 18th), but with such tiny height and poor wind, those longer waits between sets will just leave you floating around with nothing to ride.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a session, Sunday the 6th is your best and only real hope. It’s not a stand-out by any stretch, but it’s the only time the stars almost align. The rest of the time, the combo of weak energy, wrong wind direction, and messy conditions means you’re better off waiting. With the wind and swell setups we have, this spot looks more suited for a kite than a paddle on most of these days.
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.
