The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about what's going on, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
To be honest, the outlook for this stretch is a real downer. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a washout for decent waves. From September 9th right through to the 24th, it's a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" and zeros across the board. That's a solid two-week gap with nothing to recommend.
The only flicker of something, and I mean a tiny flicker, shows up on the 19th of September. The morning has a bit of swell pushing in at 2ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (205). But the wind is light onshore, so it's not going to be pretty. Then, on the afternoon of the 19th, the combined energy actually jumps up a bit (271), but the wave comment is still "marginal". It's a day where you might find a crumbly, rideable wave if you're desperate, but it's nothing to write home about.
Faria is a beach and reef setup, and it's fairly exposed to the SW swell. The water temperature is a whopping 70°, which is about 6° warmer than normal – that's a very unusual warm patch for this time of year. The swell direction (SW) is right in the optimum zone, but the size is just too small and the wind is never your friend. It's a consistent-enough break, but with no real swell energy and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, it's just a flat, choppy mess.
Honestly, this is a classic case of a blank run for this area. It's not unusual to see a stretch like this. The only real "standout" is the 19th, and that's a pretty low bar. For now, save your energy and wait for a change in the forecast. The pattern tends not to stay this poor for too long.
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.
