The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is for Faria. Over the next 16 days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The whole run is a dud for decent surf.
From the start, Sunday the 2nd of August, we’ve got tiny waves around 1ft to 2ft from the SW, with weak energy—only 96 on the scale. The wind is light and blowing onshore, and the water is much warmer than usual at 70°F, but that doesn’t save the surf. It’s poor quality.
Monday and Tuesday the 3rd and 4th are even smaller, with waves dropping to 1ft and energy falling into the 50s and 60s. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Flat spell, no doubt.
There’s a long gap until around Friday the 7th of August, when a longer period SSW swell shows up with a 19-second interval. The energy climbs to 121, which is moderate, but the wave height is still only 1ft. That long period means the waves are weak and slow, and with a cross-onshore breeze, it’s just not coming together. Still poor conditions.
Into the second week, from the 14th of August, we see wave heights bump up to 2ft from the SSW, with energy readings hitting 213 and 217 on the 14th and 16th. That’s strong energy, but every single report says “poor surf conditions.” The wind is mostly onshore, and the break is a beach and reef setup. With the size and chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
No standout days. Faria is a total blank for the whole 16 days—no waves worth chasing. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
