The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Faria stretch.

To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. From now right through to Monday the 12th of August, every single forecast slot comes back as poor surf conditions or marginal. We're lookin' at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for.

The only break on offer here is Faria itself, a beach and reef setup that's fairly exposed to the southwest swell. But the problem is, the swell just isn't there. For the first few days, we get tiny pulses of SSW swell around 2ft to 3ft, but it's all coming in with onshore or cross-onshore wind and the wave energy is weak to moderate at best – think readings of 440 down to 292 (combined energy). The water temp right now is 69°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal – that's very unusual for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold if you're just floating around.

By the time we hit early August, the swell drops right off to 1.0ft with periods that bottom out around 7 seconds. The energy readings fall into the weak zone, down to just 44. There's a tiny glimmer around the 7th of August with a longer-period SSW pulse at 19 seconds, but the wave height is only 1.0ft. That long period might sound good, but with no size, it's just a line on the buoy. The wind stays light, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so conditions are never clean.

Don’t hold your breath for any standouts here – there simply aren't any. If you're absolutely desperate for a splash, you could look at those mornings around the 28th and 29th of July with that 2ft to 3ft SSW swell (periods around 16-17 seconds) and light onshore breeze, but the forecast says marginal at best and it’s crossed out as poor surf. Honestly, this looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle than a surf. For the whole 16 days, you're better off keeping the board in the car.

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.
