The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. Let’s talk Faria.
Honestly, it’s a rough 16 days ahead. Every single session in the forecast is flagged as poor. No real standouts, no hidden gems – just a whole lot of flat, weak conditions. The water is running at about 70°, which is a solid 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like you’re surfing in a bathtub.
Starting Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell out of the SW, with moderate energy around 170, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW at 6 mph, making it choppy and uninviting. Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 12th stays poor: 1ft to 2ft from the SW or SSW, light onshore winds, and energy between 120 and 225. The period starts at 17 seconds but drops to 14 – longer waits for tiny waves. Not a trade-off worth making.
Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th see a bump to 3ft from the west, energy around 167 to 195, but the period is short at 9–10 seconds. Light onshores keep it messy. From Tuesday the 15th all the way through to Thursday the 24th, it’s the same story: 1ft to 2ft, periods bouncing between 8 and 17 seconds, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore at 6 to 9 mph. The combined energy never breaks out of the moderate range (105 to 251). No quality in sight.
With the swell staying under 5ft, it’s not dangerous for beginners, but the constant poor conditions make it a washout. This setup, with light wind and small weak swell, is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. It’s a dry spell, but that happens – wait for the forecast to shift. For now, keep the wax off and save your energy.
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.
