The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one.
The next couple of weeks at Faria are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, onshore wind swell that's just not cutting it. The water is sitting at a toasty 71°F, which is about 8° warmer than usual for this time of year—that's very unusual.
The only glimmer of hope shows up on Friday, September 11th. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SW, with a 15-second period. The swell energy is weak at 134. The good news is the wind goes dead calm in the afternoon—glassy conditions. You might find a clean little 2ft wave if you're patient, but it won't have any push.
For the rest of the 16 days, it's a drought. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the wind is either onshore or crossing onshore from the WSW or SW, keeping the surface chopped up. The swell energy is low, and everything is rated as poor. It's a lean run.
This kind of small, onshore bump looks more suited for a kite than a surfboard right now. For paddle surfing, it's a quiet period to let the boards rest.

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.
