Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Faria over the next couple of weeks.

First up, I gotta be straight with you: there’s not much to get excited about for a good long stretch. Faria is a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the SW, and we’re looking at a run of tiny, weak swells with mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. The water is running a touch warmer than normal at 64°, but that’s about the only bright spot.

For the first week and a half, we’re stuck with poor surf conditions. From now right through to the 12th of July, the swell is hovering around 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods ranging from 14 to 18 seconds. That long period sounds nice, but with such tiny height there’s just no push. The combined energy is mostly moderate, ranging from 119 up to 421, but it’s all on small, messy little waves. The wind is mostly from the WSW or SW at 5 to 15 km/h, and it’s cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and uninviting. Thursday the 9th of July has a flicker of a “marginal” call in the morning, but even that is 2 ft with light onshore wind – it’s barely worth paddling out for.

Then from the 13th to the 15th of July, the swell drops even further. We’re down to 1 ft to 2 ft, and the energy dips into the weak range, with values like 65, 72, and 93. That’s flat spells, plain and simple. Winds stay light and mostly onshore or cross-on, so there’s nothing to recommend.

Around the 17th and 18th of July, we see a bit of a bump. There’s a pulse on Friday the 17th with a 3 ft swell from the W, but the period is short at 9 seconds – that’s weak, mushy, and disorganised. Then Saturday the 18th shows another pulse of 3 ft from the W again, period 9 seconds, with more cross-onshore wind. The energy climbs back into the moderate range, up to 320, but it’s still not good surf. Short period, onshore wind, small height – that’s a recipe for chop and closeouts.

Honestly, folks, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. There’s a gap of good surf that lasts pretty much the whole time. The setup here isn’t really working for us – the winds don’t line up, the swell is too small, and the few pulses that come through are poorly shaped for the beach and reef. If you’re set on going out, you might find a knee-high wave on a lucky tide, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. For paddle surfing, it’s a bust. If the wind picks up more from a cross-shore direction, this spot might look better for the kite crowd than us.

Stay patient, check back later – forecasts change.

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.
