The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch here at Faria. Right now and for the next two weeks, we’re staring down a long, flat spell. The first surf recommendation doesn’t even pop up for a while, and for most of the period, the wave energy is weak, with combined swell energy readings barely cracking 100 (like 95, 51, 44). It’s just not happening. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 70°F, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to ride. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, but it tends not to stay poor for long, so keep an eye on it.
The first real stand-out, and honestly the only one worth talking about, comes right at the very end of the outlook. On Monday, August 17th, the afternoon session finally shows a pulse. We get a 4ft swell from the west, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit crumbly and messy. The combined swell energy jumps to 265 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph, which will keep it choppy. Faria is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the southwest, and with that short-period, onshore wind, it might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions are still flagged as poor, so don’t expect any magic.
So, to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing for the next two weeks, with a glimmer of something—but not much—on the 17th. Keep your board waxed, 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.
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.
