The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this sixteen-day stretch is a total write-off for Faria. There’s hardly a ripple to get excited about.
The water’s running way warmer than normal, about 71°, which is almost 7° above the usual for this time of year. Kinda weird, but it doesn’t change the fact there’s no surf.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until way down the line. We’re talking a long, dry spell with nothing. The only time it’s worth even looking at the ocean is on Wednesday, August 26th. For the morning, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. The combined energy is a moderate 243, so it’s small and weak. In the afternoon, it bumps up just a hair to 2ft from the same direction, still with a 16-second period, and the energy hits a moderate 304. Wind stays light cross-onshore. It’s a beach and reef setup, so that long period might make the beach section a bit wonky, but the reef could offer a little something. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the only window that’s even slightly open.
Before that, don’t bother. It’s a total blank run of poor conditions, onshore junk, and barely any swell. It’s a quiet stretch, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Check back in, things can change quick.
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.
