The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've looked at the charts for the next sixteen days, and for Faria, it's a grim picture. There's not a single decent surf session on offer across the entire run. The models are showing nothing but poor surf conditions from the 29th of July all the way through to the 13th of August. That's a long, flat stretch.

The trouble is the wind. It's onshore or cross-onshore for almost every single period, and those winds are coming from the WSW or SSW, which is just about the worst direction for this spot. The wave heights are tiny, never getting above 3 ft, and the combined swell energy is weak. On Wednesday the 29th of July, the water is a whopping 69°, which is 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a very unusual anomaly, but it doesn't help the surf.

The one bright spot on paper is the swell period. You'll see some long-period groundswell, with periods hitting 16 to 20 seconds at times. That would normally mean some real energy. But with the wind blowing straight onshore, that energy is just going to get chopped up into a messy, blown-out line. There's nothing to get excited about. The combination of the small swell, bad wind, and the beach-and-reef setup means this is probably more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone paddling out.

Hang in there, and remember, forecasts can change. But for now, leave your board in the car.

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.
