The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening at Faria.
Right now, it’s a bummer of a forecast. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, bumpy surf. The swell is barely 2ft to 3ft, coming from the SSW or SW, and the wind is almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore, shredding any chance of a clean wave. The combined energy stays weak to moderate (between 143 and 262), which just isn’t enough to push through the chop.
The water is a noticeable 68°, which is a huge 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like a swimming pool, but the surf is just flat and messy.
The first hint of anything better shows up on Sunday, July 26th. The morning has a little cross-onshore breeze with light winds, and the swell is still only 2ft from the SSW, but the energy jumps to 386. Still, it’s only described as “marginal,” and that’s generous. The afternoon is the same story with onshore wind. Not worth a paddle.
The real potential, and the only standout in the whole 16-day window, is on Friday, July 31st through Saturday, August 1st. On Friday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the S with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it carries a strong energy reading of 778. The wind is light and onshore, so it’s not perfect, but the size and period mean there will be some shape. By Saturday morning, August 1st, the swell holds at 4ft from the S, but the period drops to 13 seconds, with energy at 526. The wind is still light and onshore. This is still “marginal,” but it’s the most power we’ve seen all forecast. The S direction isn’t ideal for Faria’s best SW exposure, but it’s close enough to get some lines. It’s a long-range call, so less certain, but it’s the only real window of hope.
After that, from Sunday, August 2nd onward, it dies right back down to tiny, weak stuff with poor wind. For a beach and reef setup like Faria, this long flat spell is a drag. Honestly, with the onshore wind and small swell, it looks more interesting for a kite session than a wave count.
So, keep an eye on that last weekend of July into the first of August. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got.
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.
