The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening on home sand. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead, so don’t expect much action for a while.

The outlook starts from Wednesday, August 5th, but honestly, the surf is flat and messy. We’ve got tiny swell around 1.0ft coming from the southwest with a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is weak at only 58. The water temperature is sitting at 70°, which is a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, but it won't help the surf. The wind is light but onshore, and conditions are just poor. That basically sets the tone for the next week.

Through Thursday and Friday, the swell stays small, never getting above 1ft. The period stretches out – we even see 19 seconds on Friday morning – but that’s too long for a beach and reef setup like Faria. The energy picks up a bit, hitting 118 on Friday morning (moderate energy), but the wind keeps it cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave comments are all poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one, to be honest.

The weekend of August 8th and 9th is more of the same. The swell creeps up to 1ft, and the period remains long, but the wind doesn’t clean up. Saturday morning has light onshore wind, and Sunday afternoon shows a slight lull with only 3 mph wind from the southwest, but the wave state is unknown – still, it's barely breaking.

We go all the way through the second week, and there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell size finally bumps up a touch to 2ft on Saturday, August 15th, and the combined energy reaches 247 – that’s moderate and approaching strong energy, and we get a brief moment with light onshore wind on the Saturday morning. But by afternoon, the wind shifts cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still poor. The period is 16 seconds, which is still very long, and the direction is SSW, right out of the optimum.

The only real standout is the morning of Thursday, August 20th. The swell is still small at 1.0ft, but the combined energy jumps to 216 – that’s strong energy for such a tiny wave. The period is a very long 19 seconds, and the wind is light and onshore. It’s a tease, but the wave quality is still rated poor. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there’s no true gem here. The best chance for a surf is the morning of Saturday, August 15th, with 2ft of SSW swell, 16-second period, and light onshore wind – but it’s still poor. The rest is a long wait for very little reward. Crowds at Faria are sometimes an issue, but with this forecast, it’ll be empty. It’s a tough outlook, but forecasts can 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.
