The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Faria. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth getting wet for, so don’t bother checking the cams every morning. The entire window is a write-off. There’s no good surf on offer, and the forecast is consistent with that. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just doesn’t want to co-operate.
The water is sitting at 70° right now, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and it feels like bathwater out there, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no real swell to enjoy it.
We start off Tuesday the 8th with a weak 3ft SSW swell at 11 seconds. The combined energy is only 192 – that’s moderate at best. The wind is a cross-on from the WSW at 6 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. The wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” It stays like this through the week, with tiny waves and the wind never really cleaning up. Thursday the 10th has a slight improvement with an onshore wind from the SW at 6 mph, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft. The energy bumps up to 241, but it’s still weak and unrideable.
The weekend of the 13th and 14th is more of the same. Saturday morning sees a 2ft SW swell with 14-second period, but the energy is just 148. The wind is onshore, so it’s just a windswell mess. Sunday afternoon the 13th has a bit of a bump to 3ft from the west, but the period drops to 9 seconds and the wind goes cross-on again. It’s just not coming together.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope. From the 16th to the 23rd, we’re stuck with tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, mostly from the SW. The period looks decent on paper – 16 to 19 seconds – but that’s a long-period groundswell that needs a proper setup to work. At Faria, a beach and reef break, that long period is going to break straight and close out. The wind is often light and onshore, but the combined energy is still weak, ranging from 118 to 220. There’s just no power. The clear skies are nice, but the surf is dead.
Frankly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if you ask me. But for us, it’s a flat spell. We’ll have to wait for a change in the forecast. Keep your hopes up, but 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.
