The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the straight talk. Over the next two weeks at Faria, it's dead flat and pretty hopeless. Not a single day stands out.
We’re looking at a beach-and-reef spot that's open to the southwest swell. For the first break I'll cover, the water temp is about 71°, which is nearly 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's way off the charts, so you won't need a thick suit.
From now until the end of September, it's the same story: tiny, junky surf. The combined swell energy stays low, mostly between 85 and 236 (moderate), but wave heights never top 3 feet. The wind is almost always from the SW or WSW, blowing onshore or cross-onshore, so it's choppy. A few mornings have light breezes with small ripples, but it’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell period gets long, up to 20 seconds around September 28th, but with wave heights of only 1 feet, it's just long, fat lines that won’t break.
To be honest, this whole stretch looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. There’s no wave to ride. It’s a poor forecast for the full 16 days. The only hint of anything is around September 28th into the 29th with a long-period pulse (19-20 seconds), but the height is still just 1 feet and the wind is onshore. Keep your board in the car.
It’s a total blank run for this spot, which happens sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't bother.
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.
