Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty flat stretch ahead for Faria. The next week and a half is a write-off for any proper waves. We’ve got a long, slow, drawn-out period of weak, onshore slop that’s barely worth paddling out for. The local water is running about 3°F above average for this time of year, sitting at 64°F, so it’s a touch warmer than normal, but that’s not much comfort with the swell situation.
From Tuesday the 7th right through to Monday the 20th, it's all "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny – we’re talking 1.0ft to 2ft of short period, weak energy. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which isn’t doing anything to help the shape. The combined swell energy is low, bouncing around in the low to mid hundreds. It’s not even worth trying, honestly.
Then, there’s a flicker of hope. On Tuesday the 21st of July, the early morning session at Faria looks like it might just be the only bright spot in the entire forecast. We get a brief window of glassy conditions with a light offshore wind from the SSW. The swell is still only 2ft from the SW, but the period pushes to 15 seconds, just about giving it a bit of life for a point break or reef setup here. The energy is still weak (137), but for this outlook, it’s the only window where you might find a bump. That early glass-off will be the key.
After that, it’s back to small, choppy, and weak for the rest of the run. There are no standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a blank for any real quality surfing. For a beach and reef spot like Faria, it’s a tough run.
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.
