The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s on the menu for Faria over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly? It’s a flat spell with a lot of waiting ahead. We’ve got a long gap of small, messy surf to start with. The first real glimpse of anything rideable isn't until Thursday afternoon, the 27th of August. Even then, that's just 2 ft of S swell with a 12-second period in glassy conditions – the best-looking window in the whole run, but it's still just surfable, not pumping. The water is running at 70°F, which is over 5 degrees warmer than what you'd expect this time of year; you’re not going to need a thick suit, that's for sure.

Don't get your hopes up for the days after that. From Friday the 28th all the way through Tuesday the 8th of September, it's a consistent string of poor surf conditions. You're looking at ankle-to-knee high dribble, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds from the WSW, and a lot of choppy, bumpy water. The combined wave energy sits in the low to mid hundreds (like 217, 298, 303 up to 388) for a while, but it's low-quality drift. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d spend more time untangling your leash than actually riding.

The only flicker of promise is way out there. On Wednesday the 9th of September, we finally see a pulse. The morning shows 3 ft of S swell with a 15-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 527 – that’s moderate but way more than we’ve seen. The afternoon bumps up to 3 ft of S swell with a clean 16-second interval, and the energy nearly hits 738. That’s a proper groundswell, long-period and full of potential for a beach-and-reef setup like Faria. The problem is the wind turns cross-onshore from the west at 9 mph in the afternoon, which will chop it up. It’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising but uncertain bright spot.

The takeaway here: Thursday the 27th afternoon is your one shot at a glassy, clean but very small session. If you're desperate, go then. Otherwise, wait and see if that early September pulse firms up. There’s nothing else on the horizon worth paddling out for.

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.
