The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down this 16-day stretch for Faria.
It’s a real bummer of a forecast. The entire window is plagued by onshore breezes and tiny, weak surf. The water’s running way warmer than average at about 70°, which is a 7° anomaly – feels like a warm bath, but the ocean just isn’t working. The wave energy tops out at a moderate 465 and then drops into the weak zone (33 to 130) for the second half. There is no standout session; the best rating is a lousy 1/10 for "marginal" conditions.
Starting Saturday the 25th, it’s a straight no-go. There’s a long-period (21 seconds) SSW groundswell, but it’s only 1 ft. That’s a classic tease – a long-period swell with no height, immediately flattened by the onshore wind that never lets up. There's no clean face to be found.
From Sunday the 26th through the end of the month, we see a tiny bump, getting up to 3 ft by Friday the 31st. But the period drops from a promising 19 seconds down to a less interesting 14 seconds, and the wind remains junk. The energy gets up to 428, but every note says "poor surf conditions." It’s just a messy, dribbly, waist-high mess.
From the start of August, it gets even smaller. By Monday the 3rd, the combined energy plummets below 100 (75), and the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The period is all over the place, which tells you the ocean is confused. We're looking at days of nothing.
There is no decent surf in this whole 16-day window for a paddle surfer. The swells are too small, the winds are wrong, and the consistency is poor. This setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for a surfboard. Take the wax off and enjoy a warm water swim.
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.
