The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and sad for Faria. We’ve got a run of small, weak swell that’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is just not there. The first real chance to even think about a paddle comes right at the end of the 16-day window, so don’t hold your breath for anything before that.
From Wednesday the 15th all the way through to Saturday the 26th of July, it’s a write-off. The surf is tiny – mostly 1ft to 3ft – with combined energy readings that are really weak (93 to 546). The wind is almost always on or cross-onshore, keeping things messy and chopped up. There’s a couple of long-period swells, like 18 to 19 seconds, but when the height is only 1ft, it’s just not enough to push anything rideable. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
Even when we get a slight bump around Sunday the 26th with a 4ft swell from the SSW (period 14 seconds, energy up to 752), it’s still going to be marginal at best. The wind turns light and onshore, but the quality is just not there. That’s the only day with a score above zero.
Now, the best of a bad bunch comes on Sunday the 26th in the morning. Faria is a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s also a beginner spot. A 4ft swell from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds is still small, but the energy is moderate (752). The wind is light and onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s not a complete howler. You’ll get some small, crumbly waves that are okay for a longboard or a soft-top. Just know that it’s not gonna be a classic, and crowds can happen sometimes.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day run, there’s only one day that’s even worth a look, and it’s barely a standout. The rest of the time, the swell is too small, the wind is too messy, and the energy is too weak. If you’re desperate, Sunday the 26th morning is your window. Otherwise, save the wax.
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.
