The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust, with only a few sessions that are even worth calling marginal, let alone good. You'll be waiting a long time between any real highlights.

Let's talk about Faria. It's a beach and reef set-up, fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes a SW direction. The water is absolutely balmy, running at 70°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual, a real outlier.

The first week starts off with a thud. Thursday the 23rd has some swell, with a 2ft S swell and a 13-second period, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are just poor. The combined energy is moderate at 202. That afternoon, the wind stays onshore and the swell is a messy 4ft from the W with a short, weak 6-second period. Not worth a paddle.

Friday the 24th through Monday the 28th is a real desert. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with long periods over 15 seconds, but the wind is pretty much onshore the whole time. The combined energy fluctuates between moderate and strong (up to 416), but it's all for nothing with those winds. The only thing that changes is a few sessions get a "marginal" tag, but with poor surf conditions, it's just not happening.

The only flicker of hope comes on Thursday the 31st of July. In the morning, a 2ft SSE swell with a 15-second period is met with a light cross-onshore breeze, giving us "light cross-onshore with small wind ripples". The combined energy is strong at 396. The afternoon improves a little – a 3ft S swell with the same 15-second period, and still that light cross-onshore. The energy jumps to 460. It's still a "poor surf conditions" report, but it's the closest thing to a pulse we've got. That long period groundswell will be breaking a bit straight on the beach, so it wouldn't be the best shape, but it's the only time the numbers are even close to interesting.

After that, into the first week of August, the energy drops right off. The combined energy falls into the weak zone, with values down in the 40s and 70s. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess of cross-onshore, and it's just not worth talking about. The whole setup is a washout. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a painful run. Don't hold your breath.

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.
